Lavia 2013

11,50 €

Ruby red colour with medium depth and violet-shaded rim. An intense bouquet of fresh fruity aromas with hints of eucalyptus and liquorice. It becomes a powerful wine in mouth; with savoury tannins in the initial attack on the palate, an unctuous sensation in mid-palate and a lingering and fresh aftertaste.
