Written Notes

In 1982 the cool nights of September were important for the expressive fruit and freshness of the vintage. A wine with bright garnet red colour and brick red hue. The nose displays and intense and aromatic fruit, ripe blackberries, prunes and berries. On the palate freshness and an elegant acidity are quite typical for the vintage, characterising a very elegant wine with an almost cool finish.
