The nose reveals enticing aromas of ripe black fruits, such as blackberries and plums, accompanied by subtle hints of violet and spice. On the palate, the wine is full-bodied and structured, with velvety tannins and a vibrant acidity that perfectly complements its fruit-forward profile. The long, elegant finish leaves you with notes of dark chocolate, licorice, and a touch of minerality, a testament to the expressive terroir of the Uco Valley.
