Wine Description

Rich salmon pink in colour, ripe vegetal notes on the nose with a hint of red spice and herbaceous effects. The entry on the palate is full, round and harmonious, able to combine acidity with a certain ripeness on the one hand, but also brings enough structure into play to be used as a harmonious and always balanced accompaniment to food, with a noble piquancy right through to the finish.

Food Pairing

Antipasti, fish and classic barbecue.
