Intense ruby hues segue into a nose of sour cherry, blackberry and blackcurrant followed by rose petals and a touch of black pepper. The velvety tannins accompany a plush palate. The rich flavor partners perfectly with the acid backbone to bring freshness and length.

Recommended with mature cheese and with first courses with savory meat-based, amatriciana or carbonara sauces. Also with mains of roast or barbecued meat.
