Garnet red with variable intensity depending on the vintage. A broad, variable bouquet ranging from spicy notes to sweeter, floral and fruity ones. Full bodied, classic and well structured on the palate.

Best with red meats, particularly game, and dishes dressed with truffle. Also good with fresh egg pasta and meat sauce, risotto, and medium-mature cow's and goat's milk cheeses.
