Tasting Notes

In the glass, it shows a deep ruby-garnet hue with complex aromas of ripe red and dark fruits, herbs, balsamic notes, sweet spice, cedar, leather, and cocoa. The palate is full-bodied yet refined, with polished tannins, vibrant acidity, and a long, harmonious finish marked by depth and elegance.

Exceptionally versatile at the table, it pairs seamlessly with lamb, game, wagyu, duck, Iberico pork, mushroom or truffle dishes, and aged cheeses, highlighting both its power and finesse.
