Tasting Note
A fragrant bouquet of bright cherry and blueberry fruit with subtle notes of red licorice, fruit spice, savoury characters. This wine shows great fruit weight and generosity, abundant with juicy dark fruits and perfectly balanced by fine, supple tannins and a soft, round, long-lasting finish.
Food Pairing
This splendid red wine tastes great with foods such as light meats, chicken, or lightly spiced dark meats.
