Tasting notes and pairings:
Intense ruby red. The aroma brings to mind small red fruits, with a sweet note of raspberry and vanilla and a fresher one of currant and pomegranate. In the mouth, the tannin is lively but not invasive, fresh, alcohol in balance, in short a good body/structure. Dark texture, good aromatic persistence. A comforting wine in its genuineness.
Pairs well with grilled meats and pasta dishes with ragù.
Excellent with 50% dark chocolate.
