On the nose, it offers vibrant aromas of red berries – think wild strawberries and raspberries – alongside subtle floral notes and a hint of earthy spice. The palate is light-bodied but precise, with a lively acidity that enhances the fresh fruit character and a mineral backbone that reflects the limestone-rich soils. The finish is clean and elegant, making it a compelling example of a thoughtfully crafted natural wine. |
