Organoleptic characteristics
Light ruby colour with garnet reflections. Intense and persistent perfumes and pleasantly soft thanks to a tannin taste which is not strong. It is dry red wine and it recalls hints of vanilla and tobacco. Thanks to its long fining in bottle, Olpe is a full body wine, complex and sophisticated.
