WINE OVERVIEW
The winery’s top production blend; made in minimal quantities and bottle-aged before release.
Tasting Notes
Lively and intense deep ruby color. On the nose, elegant and complex with notes of ripe red fruits, blackberry and dried plums. Excellent balance between French oak and fruit. On the palate, intense, full, rich and expressive. Round with elegant tannins which leads through to a very long and harmonious finish.
Food Pairing
Pairs well with everything from salumi platters to whole roasted meats off the wood-fire grill.
