Tasting Notes
Intense and deep ruby red color. The nose is intense and full, with immediately perceptible sensations of fruit, black cherry, blackberry, and currant. The floral sensations are the setting for extremely elegant spicy hints, black pepper, licorice, and cinnamon. On the palate the wine follows the nose, in fact, the aromatic notes return to the mouth in the same order. The wine has a good  structure with well-integrated tannins, and the sip is fresh and mineral, characteristics that make the finish very pleasant and elegant.

Symbol is a powerful and elegant wine at the same time, full-bodied but also graceful, straightforward, and emotional.
