Description
Information
Tasting Note
A deep, bright ruby red in color, on the nose it offers an elegant, varied bouquet of ripe berry fruits (such as blackberries and raspberries), dried aromatic herbs and delicate sweet spices. On the palate it is full-bodied, mellow and mouth-filling, with velvety tannins. Though richly flavored, it displays an attractive suppleness in the mouth.
Serving Suggestions
Ideal with risottos and rich pasta dishes, white meats, Italian cold cuts, and cheeses (both fresh and moderately aged).
