deep ruby red color and a good texture that highlights its richness. On the nose, enveloping hints of ripe berries such as currants and blackberries emerge, accompanied by delicate spicy notes of pepper and cloves, along with a light touch of vanilla that adds complexity to the aromatic bouquet. In the mouth, O'Scuro is warm and smooth, with a freshness that perfectly balances its structure. The tannins are soft and well integrated, giving the wine elegance and length. The persistence is discreet but pleasant, with a finish that is enriched by memories of red fruits and a slight volcanic minerality.
