Method & Production
Tasting notes
Vibrant red color with alluring aromas of red fruits especially red cherry, fresh and dried herbs, spices and a touch of licquorice. Fresh, well blanced, persitent on the palatte. The red fruits carry through, with a touch of garrigue and spice on the finish.
Food matching
Rabbit ragu with parpadelle, roast meat, roast portobello mushrooms with polenta and thyme. Works well with aged pecorinos.
