Tasting Notes
Bright red in colour with a subtle ruby rim. The bouquet is a complex aroma of dried fruit and ripe blackberries, leather notes and nuances of vanilla. On the palate, the wine is very soft and round, ripe with a silky texture and subtle herbal undertones. The wine has a long-lasting, warming finish.
Food Pairing
A wonderful accompaniment to grilled red and game meats, risotto with wild boar, ragù with fresh pasta, venison, Castilian roasts and also a pleasure with goose.
