Tasting notes

Ruby red color with garnet reflections. On the nose hints of cherries, blackberries, licorice, mint, tar and tobacco. In the mouth, it manifests itself with elegance and opulence thanks to dense but soft tannins and well-balanced acidity. Its finish is incredibly long and persistent.

Possible combinations

It can be combined with tasty first courses seasoned with ragù or wild boar ragù, roasts and grilled red meat, red meat and medium-aged cheeses.
