The nose opens with an intense and complex bouquet, with intense spicy vanilla aromas, enriched with pleasant notes of red fruit. On the palate it is well structured and elegant with an austere tannins and a pleasantly persistent finish.

This red wine is perfect to accompany red meat dishes and aged cheeses. Served chilled (15 ° C) it goes well with savory fish dishes.
