TASTING NOTES & FOOD PAIRING:
Deep purple-red color with high intensity.
The nose offers fresh, crunchy aromas of red and black fruits such as strawberry, redcurrant, cherry, and blackcurrant.
The palate opens with freshness, where blackcurrant and redcurrant notes coat the mouth. The wine is round and smooth, with very supple tannins.

This wine pairs beautifully with stuffed tomatoes, poultry, raw or cooked vegetables, red meat, roasted butternut squash, charcuterie, fresh or aged cheeses, and fresh fruit. It is also delightful on its own as an aperitif.
