Tasting notes
Ruby red tending to cerasuolo, light. Moderately intense and complex nose, winey and fruity, recalling grapes, plums, cherries and rose notes. Dry but fairly soft, intense freshness, tasty lively tannins, good balance and a pleasant finish.
Pairs well with
Versatile: cool as an aperitif or at room temperature with simple dishes, cured meats and medium-aged cheeses, starters and soups.
