Babone

A superb example of agility and character without defects.
The nose is a puzzle, rich and at the same time well chiseled. Notes of red fruit, black licorice and green nuances all combine in exquisite elegance.
There is a balsamic background and a remarkable freshness.
Good weight in the mouth with soft tannins, a nice long finish. Powerful and rich.
