Wine

Information

The colour is appreciated thanks to its intense
ruby red, verging on the garnet with the
long refining process. On the nose it shows
captivating scents of wild cherry, plums,
spices and undergrowth fruits. On the mouth
it has a rich, full flavour and excellent savory
with a present and well-mantained tannin, a
balanced sweetness of the fruit accompanied
by a fresh acidity. It goes well with red meats
and seasoned cheeses but surprising with
modern dishes combined with fish. To be
served at the temperature of 16 °C with meat,
but at 14 °C with fish.
