The intrinsic characteristics of the soil and the distinctiveness of the climate guarantee the production of wines of particular intensity and elegance. C: dark ruby red with highlights of violet-blue. N: notes of small black fruits flanked by an aroma of dark chocolate and tobacco interwoven with mineral notes that recall graphite and gunpowder, sensations of umami and balsamic mint. B: round and soft with good body and excellent acidity. Sensation of blueberry jam supported by an excellent sapidity, well balanced and harmonious with a fine vertical structure. Long mineral persistence combined with ripe, mature tannins, delicate and silky. Ideal pairing with red meats and aged cheeses, especially blue cheeses.
