Tasting Notes
Vintage 2019 | Alcool 13.0% vol
Colour
To the eye, the wine is ruby red of good intensity with purple reflections especially at the rim. Excellent clarity and persuasive, lively reflections.
On the nose
The nose is intense, fruity (red fruits, cherry and black cherry), delicately spicy (black pepper) and woody perfectly blended with the fruity notes. Final with balsamic notes that transpire from the mélange of aromas and only await further evolution.
On the palate
On the palate it is dry, with perceptible slightly exuberant tannicity, fresh, savoruy, with good structure, but still young. Well-calibrated alcoholic note supported splendidly by the other structural components.
Serving suggestions
A wine to be paired with important red meats, also with first courses with game dressings. Try it with cured meats in which the fat component has not been particularly spared.
Serving Temperature
To be offered at 15°C. To discover its evolution with the oxygenation and warming of the room in which it is served.
