Deep red color with purple nuances, intensive aromas of ripen small berry fruits, with some cherry and plum, are fully released on the nose together with a refined oak profile.

Some lingering vanilla and black fruit flavors entirely complete its long finish.
Tips
Food and Wine Pairing Tips
Tip 1 Choose a wine you like with food you like. It does no good to order a dish you have no interest in, or pair it with a wine you do not like.
Tip 2 Younger wines are more tannic and richer in flavor. They can stand up to heavier dishes and more powerful flavors than older wines. This is where lamb, aged beef and stews are really going to shine.
Tip 3 While red wine with red meats is an easy way. But use mushrooms, tomato, veal stock with the fish, or charcoal grilled eel, pan-fried ribbon fish... and you will have a perfect wine and food pairing.
Tip 4 Wine with cheese. Wine with cheese is a perfect combination. For many wines and cheeses, white wine often makes a better pairing, due to its higher levels of acidity found in white wine. But if you prefer red wine with cheese, just open a red wine and enjoy your cheese. The bottom line to pairing wine with cheese is, eat the cheese you love with the wines you enjoy.
