Tasting Notes

Dark ruby color with shades of purple ink. The bouquet highlights aromas and flavors of dark plum, blackberry nectar and aromatic herbs, enriched with notes of coffee and cocoa. In the mouth its majestic character explodes, it is both dense but fresh, characterized by noble and powerful tannins, and a note of violet perfume. The finish is long and clean with an endowment of minerality that enhances the characteristics of vivacity, power and cleanliness.

Pairings

Complex preparations based on red meat such as stews, braised meats and stews, feathered and feathered game, long-aged cheeses.
