the 2009 has a persistently intense and fruity finish with a stimulatingly salinity and grip in the after-taste
and just a touch of saline freshness on the finish
The soils also composed of schists are somewhat thicker (about 30 to 80 cm)
A hint of tannin and structure with refreshing acidity and a long finish of Italian sunshine
A tiny bit wildin the nose
