The palate is well-structured, featuring ripe, well-integrated tannins and balanced acidity, leading to a long, persistent finish.
Serving & Food Pairing:
Serve at room temperature and pair with rich and flavourful dishes, including fresh pasta with hearty meat or vegetable sauces, grilled or roasted red meats, and a variety of cheeses, from soft varieties to delicate blue-veined specialties.
