Tasting Notes
Deep and dark color with purplish reflections. The nose is intense. It harmoniously combines oaky, spicy, fruity, and floral notes and reveals its great complexity when aired. The attack is large, the mid-palate is dense and has a high sweetness. The wine is concentrated and chewy. It is beautifully balanced. The grainy, silky, and coated tannins give the wine a great elegance. Undoubtedly a Brane of long aging.
Pairing Recommendation
Crispy soft-boiled egg, procini mushrooms.
