  • Tasting

    The brilliant robe is of an intense red. The nose first expresses itself on subtly stewed red fruits, cherries or blackberries to then deliver aromas of olive and garrigue. The attack on the palate is greedy, both fresh and perfumed, then the power arrives with the "pepperiness" of the syrah and its silky finesse to finish on a roundness and surprising length in the mouth. A powerful, fresh wine with a slight touch of acidity that will make Vespro a wine that is both accessible from a young age and a wine to be kept.
