Appearance: Intense ruby red in colour. Aroma: The nose opens with nuances of cherry and plum and deep notes of black berries, followed by aromatic herbs and a pleasant spiciness. Mouth Feel: It is elegant and seductive on the palate, revealing considerable body, great structure and balance, and silky tannins. Food Pairing: Grilled and barbequed meat, Chianina beef in particular, roasted veal, spare ribs, ossobuco, and lamb or pork shanks. Excellent with smoked ricotta cheese, Parmigiano Reggiano and medium-matured pecorino.
