Delivers damson plum and sanguine notes mixed with a light cedar thread through the modest finish. Drink now. - Wine Spectator

The Caprice has a ruby ​​color with garnet. The nose is fruity (cherry and raspberry) and tasty with a nice expression of ripe Merlot. On the palate, the attack is fresh with fine and elegant tannins.
