manual pigging, daily reassembly. Setting bottle at optimal time and

TASTING NOTES
A bright dark red colour. A nose with aromas of blackberries, raspberries,
blackcurrant and liquorice. The palate has notes of ripe fruit, spices and
pepper. A well present aromatic freshness, a perfect balance in the mouth
with a beautiful structure without any aggressiveness.
FOOD AND WINE PAIRINGS
An elegant and very expressive wine to tune on veal marengo, an osso
bucco or a plate of charcuteries and cheeses.
