Tasting notes

Clean red colour. Pretty nose with fine floral high-notes and with a herbacious character more pronounced than in the '05. Also some currant and cherries. Medium to light wine in the mouth. Yet fullbodied and concetrated for a frappato. Clean and pure in it's form and with a bright acidity. The fruit shows a fine floral character, some candied fruits and herbacious notes. It is a bit on the young side right now. The acidity is very fine and cleansing. Not much tannins. Fine wine that needs a few more months to calm down. Very good, but a little step behind '05 in quality.
