Intense, rich ruby red, with classic notes of red fruit, black cherry and plum, followed by delicate spicy notes of licorice, tobacco, and amaretto. The taste is full-bodied, ample with elegant tannins and a lively finish, supported by a pleasant freshness.
It is great with grilled, roasted and stewed meats; cured meats and first courses with savory sauces. Excellent paired with rich soups and aged cheeses.
