Tasting Notes

Appearance

Ruby-red color.

Nose

The aromas are bold and expressive, dominated by dark fruit notes. Enticing scents of redcurrants, black cherries, sour cherries, blackberries, and blackcurrants unfold, with subtle hints of lavender adding an elegant touch.

Palate

This dry wine boasts a high alcohol content, abundant tannins, and a rich, intense flavor profile. It offers a solid structure with a medium-plus body and well-ripened dark fruit nuances. Despite the tannin abundance, they are beautifully integrated, lending the wine a velvety texture and a harmonious balance.

Food Pairing

Pairs exceptionally well with game dishes, lasagna with Bolognese sauce, grilled beef, roasted red meat, oven-baked lamb chops, and aged cheeses.
