Nunes Barata Ânfora Red 2019
14,90 €
It has a light red color, with brownish nuances. On the nose, notes of spices. like pepper and cloves, clay aroma and good acidity. It denotes ripe fruit, albeit very fresh. A wine with some rusticity, but at the same time soft, fine and with some tannin. Expressive, but never exaggerated, with a persistent and seductive finish.
