Wine of an intense red colour with garnet-coloured hints, made of Ne-groamaro and Malvasia Nera. To the nose fruity sensations of blackber-ry and black cherry, notes of basil and sweet spices due to the refine-ment in oak barrels. In the mouth it is smooth and balanced with a strong but never intrusive tannin. Long last finish. Very good with roast-ed meats and ripe cheeses.
