Compared to other producers in the area, La Ricolma stands out for its dedication to preserving complexity without forcing power, with smooth tannins, subtle minerality, and an aromatic profile that combines ripe red fruits, hints of undergrowth, spicy notes, cocoa, and earthy overtones, revealing a character that evolves with aging.

On the palate, it displays a balance between body and smoothness, a restrained acid-tannic dynamic, and a persistence that invites another sip.
