SENSORY ANALYSIS
Lively and deep ruby. On the nose intense floral aromas
that recall violet, fruity notes of ripe yet crisp red
cherry and plum, hints of tobacco leaves and spices like
juniper and black pepper, together with balsamic and
earthy notes. On the palate a well-balanced structure,
with good acidity and lively, crispy tannins; the pleasant
finish is driven by fruity flavours, dissolving in vegetal
and spicy sensations
IDEAL SERVING TEMPERATURE
16-18°C
PAIRING ADVICE
Perfect with hors d’oeuvres based on cured meats and
long-aged cheeses; excellent with dishes based on eggs
and meat, as well as mushrooms and truffles; it goes
well with main courses based on tasty red meat,
especially grilled, and with game
