AROMA AND TASTE
Its intense aromatic load condenses the depth of the black fruit with balsamic and mineral notes and caramel and pastry souvenirs. Sweet, powerful and fresh tannins at the same time, a unique balance appears between the compiled fruit and the fine spices typical of the barrel Oak. Broad aftertaste and an evocation of gastronomic pleasure.
PAIRING
Ideal to accompany red meat and game dishes. Being a wine with a certain potency, it also combines perfectly with very cured sausages.
