TASTING NOTES
Kuusu is an exceptional wine, a fine and elegant wine with those nuances of violets so typical of the area and with a perfect tannic fluidity, due to those aforementioned fine sand and quartz soils. Black fruit, floral, scrubland and mineral background. A fresh wine, with excellent acidity, soft and fluid tannins, with enormous length and aging.
