Perfect pairing with grilled or braised meats and aged cheeses.
Deep purple in color, this wine is aged in new French oak barriques for eighteen months. The bouquet is profoundly rich with notes of black small berries and very ripe red fruit, spices, coffee and cocoa. These penetrating and persistent flavors merge beautifully with the fine-grained tannins and velvety mouthfeel.
