The Quaternary Graves soil provides a firm structure, while the ripe fruit flavors characteristic of the 2022 vintage are fused together. The black fruits are layered with nuances of clove and pepper, creating a fresh and balanced wine. Aging in high-quality new oak barrels tightens the finish, making this a perfect wine for both young drinking and aging.
