"Su Su" means "uplifting" in Italian. A perfect description for this exuberant wine.
| Tasting notes |
| A fresh, fruity, and vibrant bouquet, rich of red berry and ripe blackberry, with a hint of toasted coffee bean.
The taste is rich and velvety, dry and full bodied, with well integrated acidity and soft tannins, expanding into a long harmonious finish. |
