Notes and Pairing

Ruby red color with prominent violet reflections. Intense fragrance with scents of cherry and ripe plum. Balanced, fresh, properly tannic, fragrant and vinous with a pleasantly bitter aftertaste.
An everyday wine owing to its moderate alcohol content and superb freshness. A classical wine for the table, from start to finish, but particularly suited to Italian style antipastos, first courses and fresh cheeses.
