Nose and palate

Fine, elegant and enveloping per Ca Nassio and official website reviews. Fresh and flavoursome; sweet-bitter balance with subtle bitterness; very aromatic and floral. Memories of sweet spice, nutmeg, cinnamon, liquorice and citrus. Long, persistent flavour; easy to drink yet with marked botanical personality. Compared with chain reds, Templat Rojo shows real spice layering and floral amplitude from natural maceration. For Vermutpedia, a coherent artisan profile where Macabeo and local herbs define every sip without added sweetening.
