Notes & Flavors

Intense ruby red. 

Young, fruity and slightly herbaceous, with an harmonious bouquet ranging from berries, in particular blueberries and black currants, to violets, plums, cherries, tomato leaf, fennel and rhubarb. Some medicinal herbs such as mint and thyme can be perceived too and also a balsamic note that fades into pine. The clearly recognizable feature is an herbaceous background that permeates all the wine and blends wonderfully with the warmth of the fruit notes.

On the palate it is wide and deep, medium-bodied, juicy and dripping of blackberries and cherries. The tannins are light and velvety and the herbaceous and earthy flavors balance the fruit aromas for a soft and enveloping sip. The acidity is generally low.

To be paired with typical local dishes such as a mix of ham and cheese appetizers, salami with vinegar or “brovada” (turnips) and “muset” (similar to a pork sausage). Otherwise with red meats, roasts, poultry and middle-aged cheesesi.
