Wine Description
An elegant red wine with a clear ruby colour, showing aromas of red fruits such as cherry and raspberry, accompanied by delicate floral notes and subtle oak influence. On the palate smooth with well-integrated tannins and balanced acidity, adding freshness and vibrancy. Best enjoyed slightly chilled to highlight its finesse and structure.
Food Pairing
A versatile match for red meat and game dishes, as well as aged cheese and dark chocolate. Enjoyed slightly chilled, it reveals a refreshing and elegant side, making it an excellent partner for pasta dishes during the warmer months.
