Intense and inviting ruby red. The characteristic hints of cherries and pepper are particularly enjoyable in this wine, followed by subtle nuances of officinal herbs. Dry and well-balanced. The traditional acidic note combines well with the softness of the fruit to form a satisfying contrast and produce a supple, feisty wine. Simple Mediterranean cuisine, especially pasta and seasonal soups; appetizing entres, including seasoned lard and hot toasted hors doeuvres with extra virgin olive oil, ham and sausages.
