THE WINEMAKER COMMENT

A complex wine characterized by a great varietal expression. On the nose, aromas of blackberries and raspberry meet coffee and tobacco hints. In the mouth the structure is wide, harmonious and well balanced by the typical acidity of the vintage. Excellent and persistent finish on the palate.

FOOD PAIRINGS

Ideal pairing with game and medium-aged cheeses. The remarkable structure allows a good aging.
