Amphora maceration brings funk and earthiness to the fore, with wild berry aromas leading to a surprisingly elegant palate. Cherry and mineral notes show restraint despite the natural winemaking approach. Fine-grained tannins provide gentle structure. The youthful tension should integrate with a few more years.
