Wine characteristics
The olfactory impact is intense and extremely fine: it expands with blackberries and cassis, accompanied by clear balsamic and Mediterranean scrub hints. Wood is perfectly integrated and offers sweet spicy notes and an elegant woody finish. The gustatory impact is austere and remarkably fresh and develops into a balanced fusion of ample minerality and a fine and enveloping tannic texture. The whole is found again in the long final persistence, where ample mineral notes emerge. Consistent, complex, with a character deeply linked to its area of origin.
Recommended pairings
Gastronomic combinations with game and poultry, it goes perfectly with local preparations based on wild boar, with wet braised red meat, and is excellent with medium-aged hard cheeses.
