Tasting notes
Cabernet Sauvignon 40%, Merlot 40%, Nebbiolo 20%.
Deep, full, pure amaranth.
Elegant and defined aromas of pulpy black fruit and dark spices. Black currant, well-integrated herbaceous notes and a pleasant licorice.
Enveloping taste, ample, tannic and fresh at the right point, leaving a good spicy flavor and of delicate herbs.
Multi-faceted and profound, it calls for sustained meat dishes. Red meat, a succulent rib of beef enriched with spices.
