PROFILE
Kalòn displays an elegant, multi-layered profile, where varietal notes of ripe red fruit blend with deeper, earthy and spicy notes, accompanied by delicate toasted hints on the finish. On the palate, it is well-balanced, with a full-bodied, well-integrated structure and an elegant, lingering finish.
