Tasting notes
Upon visual examination the sample is clear, with an intense ruby red color with evident garnet textures, consistent.
The nose is intense, of fine quality and with a wide and complex bouquet of scents. It opens with aromas of red flowers reminiscent of violet and peony, followed by hints of small berries such as black currant, cherry, durone and raspberry. There are also hints of freshly mown grass and undergrowth, closing with nuances of oil and ink.
The sip is satisfying, intense, with a well-smoothed and linear tannin. Persistent in taste, it gives an enveloping aftertaste of ripe fruit associated with a note of licorice.
It is recommended in combination with a macaroni pie.
