Tasting notes
The nose show complex aromas of plums, red cherries and strawberries with nuances of vanilla, cinnamon and a delicate cigar box with tea leave-like herbal notes. After a few minutes in the glass the more savoury aromas of undergrowth, porcini mushroom, cured meat and a balsamic touch are simply beautiful. The palate feels fresh with well -alanced, tannins are perfectly integrated spices all in wonderful harmony; blackcurrants, wild strawberries and cherries intermingle with toasty notes of coffee bean and sweet spices, lingering on the palate that takes on to an earthy forest floor expression with a very long finish.
Food match
Particularly recommended with all kinds of meats, stews, seasoned fish, and desserts with chocolate couverture or red berries. Perfect as an after-dinner drink.
