Ruby-red colour, spicy in the nose with impressions of red berries and orange zest, nuances of chocolate, on the palate black berries, soft and spicy with long finish, like a great Pinot Noir

Connected to the soil and always open to new things characterise our work.
The vineyards are cultivated expertly and ecologically, the grapes are harvested exclusively by hand and the wine is given plenty of time to develop in the cellar.

Goes excellently with risotto with mushrooms or truffles, as well as with hearty dishes such as game and lamb.
