Tasting Notes
Limpid, Clear, intense ruby red color with light textures tending to garnet, consistent.
On the olfactory examination the sample has a fairly complex and intense olfactory spectrum: floral, fruity, spicy and toasted. It opens with floral notes reminiscent of a bouquet of slightly withered wildflowers, followed by scents of small dark berries. Spicy notes of peppercorns and cinnamon conclude the examination with toasted notes of tobacco and freshly ground coffee powder. Balsamic nuance.
The sip is soft and warm, the tannin is important but well polished. A pronounced fruity component pleasantly accompanies the entire taste experience.
It is recommended in combination with wild boar alla cacciatora.
