## Summary

Pure Cabernet Sauvignon from a blend of La Morra parcels, aged 18-24 months in used oak.

## Tasting notes

Intense ruby red. Young: intense fruit and flowers with a touch of medicinal herbs; older: jam, caramel, goudron and light toast, always with a typical slight herbaceous note and undergrowth. Full, harmonious palate with red fruit jam and spices, barely perceptible tannins, licorice, goudron and bitter chocolate on the finish.

Aperitif, starters, first courses, cakes, and above all lamb, pork or beef, especially grilled; medium to long-aged cheeses.
