Tasting Note

Intense ruby red hues open to a well-structured, well-balanced, persistent wine. An ample nose profile of blackberry, blueberry and blackcurrant notes, hints of red pepper and liquorice, nuanced with balsamic cues. A rich, stylish palate with a long finish. Excellent with hot, spicy cuisine, or with classic Abruzzo dishes like lamb “cacio e ovo”.
