IL GENIO VALPOLICELLA CLASSICO D.O.C. 2024

Ruby red in colour. The bouquet is intense, complex and refined, with floral aromas of rose and fruity notes of cherry and almond. Full-bodied and elegant on the palate, with freshness and excellent balance. The finish echoes the bouquet, highlighting notes of almond and cherry.
