Classic red fragrant and fruity wine, made from the grapes grown in the sunny hills near Lake Garda, in the heart of the 'Bardonlino Classico' area.

Loaded with fresh melon and nectarines on the nose, a rich palate and good weight. Pale straw like colour showing youth and freshness.

Good, crisp, flinty style using a blend of traditional grapes that enhance the fruit.

This wine has a lovely, dark colour, a dense and glossy hue, although not inky or black. It doesn't prepare you for the nose, which is dense, powerful and impressive. Aromas of blackberries and chocolate fill the room, and closer examination reveals notes of black pepper and pickling spices.

The palate is luscious and sweetly textured, from entry right through to the finish. Despite it's full body, ripe, spicy tannins, power and grip it has delightful balance. There are piles of fruit, with notes of coffee grounds and more of those spices.

It finishes very well, with tremendous length. A wonderful melding of elegance and power

Soft, easy drinking vin de pays from the south of France.
