A delicious and decadent wine made from Bovale, a native grape of Sardegna. It has a deep ruby red color and aromas of sweet spices and small red fruits, leaning towards preserves. The wine is harmonious and well-balanced, with a soft and warm palate, good tannic structure, and a lingering, voluptuous finish.
