Tasting Notes: Fermentation is carried out with yeast for 45 days, followed by 3 years of aging in large oak barrels. It has a deep, matte red color with powerful aromas of blackcurrant and blackberry, complemented by nuances of forest and cinnamon. Flavors of ripe plum and cherry are blended with hints of vanilla and clove, creating a strong structure balanced by acidity and tannins for elegance. The finish is very long.

Pairing: Excellent with red meat dishes, game dishes such as quail, aged cheeses like Parmigiano and Pecorino, and also as an after-dinner drink.
