Color: Cherry-red with delicate ruby-red highlights.
Aroma: A very intense, fruity wine with red fruit aromas such as cherry, cranberry, sage and earthy forest floor mingled with smooth nuances of spices and jam, combined with a hint of toasted almonds imparted by barrel ageing. 
Taste: Starts out excellent and very refreshing on the palate. Good volume and nice unctuous texture mid-palate. The structure reveals very smooth and elegant tannins. The aromatic complexity and red fruit notes return on the long finish, accompanied by good acidity.

Food Pairings: Platter of Italian cured meats, gazpacho and roasted cherry tomatoes.
