The Character

Tasting Notes Deep, opaque cherry color with a vivid red rim signals concentration and intensity. The nose is layered and expansive, driven by ripe plum and black fruit, with pronounced limestone minerality, cocoa, sweet spice, and lifted balsamic-menthol notes. Full yet precise on the palate, with polished tannins, fresh cherry accents, and a long mineral-spiced finish, showing both immediate appeal and strong aging potential.

The Story

RODA I is blended with parcels that that year have ripened in a black fruit profile. The deep black fruit, is almost always dominated by the plumb and supported by mineral notes, chocolate and balsamic sensations, that form an ensemble that slowly flows from the furthest side of the glass until it becomes huge in the entrance of the nose. In the mouth, the volume becomes evident, the fruit complexity nicely surrounds the mouth cavity showing the numerous and polished tannins. The wine gets longer making stronger the retro nasal sensation every time we breathe. A fruity and fresh sensation will last, inviting us to continue drinking.
