50&50 Toscana IGT

50&50 is dark ruby-red in colour with vibrant purple hues. On the nose, it offers aromas of small red fruits, blackcurrant, black cherry and blueberry, which then give way to harmonious nuances of undergrowth and sweet spices such as vanilla and coffee roast. On the palate, it is gratifying, with sweetness and tannins blending perfectly in a broad, elegant, decisive and rounded tasting symphony. Ripe fruit and spices return, and on the aftertaste its balsamic character emerges, enriched with notes of mint and thyme. The finish is long, and the palate is caressed by a silky, smooth tannic texture.
