Sensory impressions
A clear, remarkably brilliant ruby red colour, with ruby-garnet hues
visible at the edge of the glass, it offers a powerful nose, redolent of
sour cherries in spirit, prunes, a potpourri of dry flowers, underbrush,
cloves, fine oak, cinnamon and roots of liquorice: an ample
bouquet, alluring and aristocratic. The palate is concentrated, with
a silky, velvety texture, an extremely dynamic acidity and a pleasant
strength; in brief, a big wine, with a long, clean finish.
Serving temperature
16-18° C.
Recommended food pairings
A versatile wine, it easily pairs with pasta with meat sauce, semi-
firm cheeses and cured meat cuts. At a riper age, it makes a perfect
marriage with capon and guinea fowl, roast veal, pork ribs with
sauerkraut or Wiener schnitzels.
Longevity
6 to 8 years.
