Nose: Frank, intense, and wild aromatic expression. It offers a cornucopia of ripe black fruits (bramble blackberries, blueberries), followed by nuances of fresh fig, black licorice, and that marked mineral note of damp earth and river stones characteristic of the Toro landscape.
Palate: Broad, juicy entrance full of vitality. Unlike the traditional structured profiles of the area, here freshness acts as the backbone of the wine. Its tannins are firm yet velvety, culminating in a long finish that evokes the direct purity of freshly harvested grapes.
