Tasting notes
Intense aromatics of rose petals, tar, and red cherry mingle with dried herbs and forest floor. The palate reveals bright red fruit, dried strawberry, and crushed raspberries, supported by firm, elegant tannins and notable acidity. Layers of licorice, tobacco, and earthy truffle emerge mid-palate, leading to a persistent, mineral-driven finish with hints of anise and sweet spice. The structure is classic and refined, showing the hallmark power and grace of Brunate.
