Tasting Notes

Intense brilliant ruby red with concentrated aromas of cherry and blueberry showing herbal and a floral nuances. A wine with generous structure and depth on the palate yet drinking well in its youth. This wine pairs well with white and red meats, pasta with ragù sauce and medium flavoured cheeses.
