ColourBalanced ruby red with bright reflections.
AromasExceptional elegance and personality. The clearest aromas are those of white pepper and small red fruits, currants and blackberries, intriguing balsamic and undergrowth (sous-bois) notes.
Tasting notesFlavourful, with fruity sensations and well-balanced minerality; the supporting tannins are velvety and ripe. Although it is a wine of good structure, it has a refined and almost silky balance; it is complex, aristocratic, of great elegance and long life; racy and full of character.
AccompanimentPairs well with elegant dishes that recall the spiciness and finesse of the wine. It also marries well with traditional dishes such as roasted white and red meat; meat with light sauces; free range poultry and feathered game; mushroom-based dishes, medium and hard crust cheeses, medium-flavoured cheeses. With ageing, it acquires complexity and elegance and is an excellent accompaniment to white and summer truffles.
