Tasting Note

Red color with purple highlights. Fresh nose of red fruits and spices dominated by blackcurrant and pepper. Notes of spices and red fruits on the palate, with a licorice and sometimes mentholated finish. Lo Sang del Pais is a typical Marcillac where the "mansois" grape variety shows its easy-drinking side. Serve slightly chilled with grilled meats.
