Tasting Notes This wine, a purple ruby colour, emanates aromas that become increasingly complex, blending hints of dry fruit and preserves, chocolate and spices. It has a fleshy complexity, supple and incredibly rich, with well blended tinges of sweetness and good acidity.
Serving Temperature 16-18°
Pairing A wine for meditation, deserving simple settings such as dry fruits, chocolate or traditional ‘rocciata’ fruit rolls.  The pairing with game is bold but fascinating.
