Organoleptic properties

COLOURA powerful red, structured on a dense and important tannin texture balanced by a decisive alcoholic content.

AROMA:   The nose is rich and concentrated. Intertwining of spices, red fruit, black cherry with accents of leather, earth, cocoa, marine and mineral notes. The frame is balmy almost minty.

FLAVOURTasting strength based on a ripe, very dense, rich fruit. The flavours are those of bilberry and preserved sour cherries mixed with leather which gradually develop to intense aromas of cherry, cocoa, iodine and rosemary.

Serving temperature

Best enjoyed at a temperature of 18-20°C.

Wine and food matching

A wine with attitude, decisive and energetic enough to be enjoyed on its own or matched with something just as strong and full of character such as casseroles or game. For a vegetarian alternative, try grilled radicchio with mature cheese or almost caramelised roast onions.

Cellar life To drink at once or keep for 10-12 years.
