Tasting notes

Nose: blackberry and raspberry jam, dried plum and a light spicy note, followed by liquorice and peppermint. Palate: rich and enveloping, with an elegant, feminine but substantial tannin and good acidity that give structure and balance.

Pairs well with

Roasts, braised and stewed meats, poultry; porcini mushrooms and white truffles.
