Nose:
It opens into a flourish of distinct scents of cherries soaked in alcohol, bilberries, rhubarb, perfectly blended with hints of juniper berries, walnut husks, bell peppers, rhubarb, graphite, tobacco leaves and scrub.

Taste:
Confident and persistent thanks to a firm and rich body as a result of the aging In fine wood that gives life to a superb minuet with a distinct sour streak and lively and bubbly tannins creating a whole with an unusually charming taste profile. Intense and dominant nectar, wine energy; dynamic and lively; a fortunate match, almost a marriage of love, between two fine dark grapes, with an extremely pleasant mouthfeel; intriguing with a mellow and alluring texture.

Food pairing:
It matches well with dishes like pappardelle with boar ragout, ravioli with veal sauce, a juicy steak with green pepper, oven-baked lamb with juniper sauce, stuffed rabbit with black truffles, hearty ossobuco Milanese-style. Matchless with an aged pecorino cheese.
