Tasting notes
Garnet red with ruby shades. Intense on the nose, with spice, dried rose and undergrowth. Dry and soft on the palate, harmonious and robust. Velvety, well-balanced drinking with a very long finish.
Pairs well with
Red meats and medium to long-aged cheeses. Also good at the end of a meal.
