Tasting notes

Ruby red colour with garnet-tending nuances. A delicate, full bouquet with floral (rose), fruity (small forest berries, raspberries and blueberries) notes and a pleasant spiciness in the background. Dry, soft and pleasantly harmonious flavour, with notable persistence, balance and typicity.

Pairs well with

A wine that accompanies the whole meal well, particularly rich and flavourful dishes such as fresh pasta and game. Delicious with cheese fondue.
