Tasting notes
- Appearance: Deep ruby color with a bright, clear core.
- Aroma: Aromas of ripe black cherry and blackberry framed by plum notes and a touch of violet, with subtle hints of spice and vanilla from careful oak integration.
- Palate: Medium to full-bodied, structured yet approachable tannins, and concentrated dark fruit flavors that persist on the palate. A refined profile with a gentle savory edge and a clean, lingering finish.
Food pairings
- Grilled or roasted red meats, such as ribeye or lamb, to match the wine’s fruit and tannic backbone.
- Rich pasta dishes with meat ragù or mushroom sauces.
- Aged cheeses like Parmigiano-Reggiano or pecorino for a balanced finale.
Serving and cellar potential
Best served slightly below room temperature, around 16–18°C (60–64°F). Decant for 30–60 minutes to help soften the tannins and unlock the aromatic profile. This wine offers enjoyable complexity in its youth and holds potential for short-term aging to gain additional depth with time.
