Palate
Full-bodied with velvety, well-integrated tannins, moderate acidity, and a rich, almost glycerol-like texture from the appassimento-style concentration of the Negroamaro grapes.
Finish
Long and warming finish with lingering notes of dried fruit, bitter cocoa, and a subtle earthy spice that persists for well over a minute.
