Tasting

Pairs very well with a medium-intensity cheese-based starter or meal with fatty fish or meat dishes.

Very intense ruby ​​colored wine.

Aroma of ripe red fruits and light touch to spices.

In tasting it is very balanced, with silky tannins. Round and soft, it reveals a fresh and long finish.
