IGP

The olfactive range goes from the red berries fruit such as black cherry, blackberry, black currant, to the herbs, all merged in a memory of toasted wood just noticeable. Ethereal, fine, on the palate it is important, with great personality and full bodied, long lasting finish confirming and enlarging the olfactory sensations.
Perfect if paired with grilled beef, game and venison or with first dishes based on meat as Bolognese or Genovese Sauce. It is also suggested to be paired with aged cheese and smoked salami.
