Intense bouquet - sweet dark cherry, dark berries, cocoa and dark floral aromas with saddle leather earth and liqueur-like density of prune fruit - ripasso style. Similar flavours appear - berry/cherry dark chocolate and fresh earth and leather. Intensely flavoured, full-bodied with good acidity and an extended finish tasting of espresso.
Pair with earthy dishes or meats stewed in tomato sauces.
