The wine
Elegant and bold wine, fine and complex.
Dense and impenetrable to the eye; the nose notes of ripe berries are accompanied by the typical aromas of the Mediterranean scrub: rosemary, oregano, bark and pine needles ... In the mouth it develops all its nerve: it is velvety and persuasive, opulent, the tannin is already quite ripe and smoothed. The sensation of warmth is clear, but nevertheless balanced by a good freshness that makes drinking even more satisfying.
Majestic wine, it goes well with important dishes based on red meats, aged cheeses and lamb alla cacciatora.
