Sierma Alta Selezione
Flavor Profile
Shiny and concentrated ruby coat. Very pure nose, outlining the sweet features of the territory: black cherry, amazing ensemble of wild fruits, mint and myrtle tobacco, a thread of rhubarb and juniper berries. It has an explosive personality in the mouth, where the taste expands without restraint, enriching itself with notes of potpourri and marine scrub, in a growing progression marked by creamy tannins and a disarmingly rounded finish. Very long, outstanding persistence.
