Tasting
Nice crispness and a smooth structure. Dark appearance with garnet tints and an expressive nose of red fruit. Its supple and fresh character on the palate will prove hard to resist.
Food pairings
This wine’s freshness and intense aromas make it the perfect partner for a platter of charcuterie. Its rich flavours and discreet tannins also work well with grilled and roasted meats.
