Description To the eye, the Scarlatto has a deep ruby garnet red. To the nose, the wine opens gradually in its notes of blackberries, licorice and cinchona. Its breadth strikes from an early age, with intriguing flavors of bay leaf and grapefruit peel. On the palate it appears compact, with a good balance between softness and hardness and a non-invasive tannin. Good persistence, where notes of bay leaves, dried herbs and a hint of black pepper emerge.
