Tasting Notes:
Intense ruby red wine, almost impenetrable, with light purple textures.
On the olfactory examination, the sensory profile is intense, varied and very pleasant. Floral notes reminiscent of lavender and red rose, fruity hints of cherry, durone and plum close to spicy notes of cinnamon and black pepper in grains. Nuance of licorice.
The taste is rich, supported by a good acid shoulder and an important but well-polished tannin. Potentially long lasting, with good persistence, leaves a cherry chocolate finish in the mouth.
It is recommended in combination with pappardelle with wild boar sauce.
