Tasting Notes: The wine opens with inviting aromas of ripe red cherries, blackberries, and a hint of violet. On the palate, it presents a well-balanced profile with bright acidity and smooth tannins. Flavors of red plum, cherry, and raspberry are complemented by subtle notes of spice, earth, and a touch of oak. The finish is long and refreshing, leaving a lasting impression of fruit and a delicate hint of minerality.

It complements traditional Italian cuisine, such as pasta with tomato-based sauces, roasted meats, and hard cheeses like Pecorino and Parmigiano-Reggiano. It is also an excellent match for grilled vegetables and hearty stews.
