Tasting notes &
Pairing
Intense ruby red color, it’s a generous wine with typical olfactory sensations of the two varieties that make up the blend. Hints that recall red plums and notes of Mediterranean scrub, with pleasant nuances of black pepper.
In the mouth it is fresh, soft and well balanced, with an aftertaste of cocoa and vanilla. Excellent in combination with spicy fish soups, first courses and red meat.
