Features
Intense ruby color. A nose exhaling the smell of morello cherry, plum, and spicy notes. A wine with refreshing acidity and rich tannins. True to the perfumes perceived on the nose, it is affirmed by flavors of black fruits and sweet spices. It offers a wide mouth that extends into a fairly steady finish.

Food Pairings
Perfect with grilled lamb, duck with cherries or a rabbit with olives.
