Tasting Notes: Essentija is a deep, intense ruby red color with light garnet reflections, very clear. Persistent aroma with dominant notes of ripe fruit, mainly plum. Dry and soft with good structure, smooth and enveloping. This is essentially a Bovale (sardo), hence the name "Essentija". Pala is a champion of this native varietal that at one time was close to being abandoned. Aged four months in underground cement-inox tanks followed by two years in new French oak.
