Argirio is of intense ruby-red in color with dark violet reflections. Immediate aromas of chocolate and leather are followed by red fruits in spirit and vetiver. Notes of wild rose, plum marmalade, clove and black pepper follow. On the palate it is warm and softly tannic. It closes with delicious notes of chocolate and spices such marjoram, nettle and pepper.
