Wine Description
Clear ruby red, with aromas of red currant and delicate fruit notes on the nose. On the palate full-bodied and juicy, showing hints of cherry and sour cherry, complemented by subtle nougat and a gentle touch of oak. Multi-layered and harmonious, with a long finish.
Food Pairing
A harmonious match for red meat, game, and grilled dishes such as steak or barbecue. Also pairs very well with aged cheese or dark chocolate.
