Full ruby, rich in chromatic matter, enlivened by purplish reflections. The olfactory bouquet is characterized by character and pleasantness, with fruity, floral and spicy notes diffused with hints of undergrowth. The tannins are well present but elegant, subtle, balanced by a fruity roundness and a lively freshness. Persistent and balanced finish.

Food Pairings

Excellent with flavorful first courses and red meat or game main courses. The perfect match? Pappardelle with wild boar ragù.
