Description

DV Catena Cabernet Sauvignon–Malbec displays an intense ruby-red color with dark violet hues. On the nose, it offers complex aromas reminiscent of cassis and raspberries, intertwined with sweet spices such as black pepper and clove, along with notes of cedar, leather, and mineral graphite. Intense and full-bodied, this wine stands out for its elegance, smooth texture, and excellent balance. Its fresh acidity and soft tannins provide a well-defined structure, leading to a long and persistent finish.
