Colour

Intense red with purple reflections.

Bouquet

Astonishing fragrance when young, with aro-mas of small, red-berried fruit that matures over time, giving rise to more complex, jam-my notes.

Flavour

Structured, warm, moderately tannic but well-balanced with just the right acidity. Soft and delicate.

Serving temperature

Best served around 16° – 18° C.

Food matches

The wonderful smoothness and abundant nuances of flavour make it an ideal accom-paniment to particularly bold-flavoured and succulent preparations as well as hot or richly spiced dishes, such as those associated with southern Italian cuisine.
