Tasting notes
Intense, brilliant garnet red. Fragrant, exuberant when young, with rose, raspberry and jasmine, developing a complex bouquet with age; with ageing spicy and balsamic tones (juniper, clove, sweet tobacco). Intense body, rich, warm, with a velvety tannic weave. Notes of raspberry, redcurrant and wild strawberry.
Pairs well with
Whole meal: pasta with meat sauces, cured meats and salami, game, braises, polenta, agnolotti, fonduta, mushrooms and truffles.
