Tasting notes:
although You can feel vanilla hints on the nose, the wine offers much, much more...
juicy mature red fruit/ spicy /mineral sensations of earth&humus (tipical of negroamaro) / smooth tannins..
the wine shows some little imperfections that make me love (and drink it) it more...



I drunk it with fresh sheep cheese & little dried tomatoes once and with a geat lamb with potatoes a second time the day after.
