Description

Tasting notes Color: vivid and bright ruby, very intense and deep; Nose: clear and gentle notes of red fruits, blackcurrant jam, rhubarb, cocoa and rose, which also leave room for “crunchy” nuances of nutmeg, cloves, tobacco and mint; Palate: a velvety entrance gives way to a significant and complex texture, which is expressed with a remarkable and fascinating drinkability, warm, persuasive and dynamic, where singularly silky tannins are already well blended; Characteristics: full and pulpy, it is a convincing and thick wine, rich and balanced, with an elegant and savory freshness, never cloying and excessive, capable of conquering the most demanding drinker; Food pairings: of sure satisfaction with the tagliolini with mushrooms and sausage, the rigatoni with hare ragù and a nice braised veal prepared with the same wine. Excellent with a succulent steak of Chianina rare and with the famous tournedos alla Rossini. Impeccable pairing with a Pecorino di Fossa.
