Ruby red with granate reflexes. Its perfume is well defined and complex, with a spicy hue and a balsamic eucalyptus aroma. It includes scents of plum, violet, morello cherry and liquorice root. In the mouth it is warm and tasty, with an elegant structure and light tannins. It is pleasant, fruity and mellow, with an elegant and persistent base of berry jam and a mineral aftertaste. |

Good pair for red meats, roasted duck, bollito, suckling pig and pasta with truffle. |
