This fine red wine pairs beautifully with red meat dishes such as Beef Wellington or venison stew, roasted duck breast, and mature cheeses. Grilled octopus and seared tuna also make excellent companions, as does chicken served with a mushroom sauce. For vegetarian options, aubergine parmigiana and lentil stew are ideal matches.

Color

Ruby red

Aroma

The nose offers aromas of red and black fruits and berries, including black cherries, dark plums, blackcurrants, and boysenberries, complemented by notes of cigar box, cinnamon, and vanilla from oak ageing.

Flavor

Full-bodied and elegantly fruity, with refined complexity, a rounded texture, and a smooth mouthfeel supported by ripe fruit flavours and silky tannins. This multifaceted classic lingers on the palate, where notes of leather and vanilla gently alternate through the long finish.
