BRAGAGNA CABERNET SAUVIGNON GARDA D.O.C. 2020

Deep red in colour. The nose reveals a refined bouquet of red fruit, vanilla and fruit preserve, complemented by pronounced notes of tea, sweet tobacco and toasted almonds. Full and harmonious on the palate, with well-balanced tannins and a solid yet refined structure.
