Tasting Notes
Limpid, intense ruby red with garnet reflections, consistent.
On the nose the sample is complex in the bouquet of its scents: floral, fruity, spicy, mineral and toasted. Pot pourri of slightly withered red flowers; berries such as currants, blackberries and cherries in alcohol; notes of cloves and nutmeg; hints of cocoa and vanilla, final with balsamic notes.
The taste is fresh, with moderate tannins, with good acidity, intense and persistent with a final balsamic note.
It is recommended in combination with ravioli stuffed with pigeon on a base of meat and black truffle.
