Tasting Notes: An intense red colour, with garnet nuances. Typical and marked notes of plum, cherry and morello cherry on the nose, followed by a wide variety of tones: nuts, tea leaves, liquorice and spices. On the palate, overtones of red berry fruit, softened by velvety notes of vanilla, in perfect balance with the acidity and tannic notes.
Food pairings: It can be paired with red meat, game and mature cheese, but it is also perfect at the end of a meal and as a “conversation” wine.
