Gaggiarone Riserva

Deep garnet. The wine has several varied olfactory nuances: citrus fruit, like bitter orange and chinotto, dried figs, cinchona, medicinal herbs, sweet spices like cinnamon and clove, hints of turpentine and enamel. The mouthfeel is velvety and satisfying with polished tannins, nice freshness and saltiness, everything perfectly integrated with softness and alcohol; very long duration of citrus fruits and medicinal herbs.
