SUPERIORE RIVIERA DEL GARDA CLASSICO D.O.C. 2023

Ruby red in colour. The nose is elegant and intense, with a pronounced spicy note accompanied by aromas of wild strawberry and ripe fruit. Smooth on the palate, with supple, well-balanced tannins. The opening is savoury and enveloping, followed by excellent persistence and a velvety finish.
