Tasting Notes

Intense color. The deep concentration of red fruits where the currant predominates evolves into spicy, fresh and balsamic notes. In the mouth, the rich and round body opens up with dense tannins, characterized by a great evolutionary harmony. Fresh, intense and balsamic, its long persistence is leaded by its prominent acidity.

Food Pairing: Rack of lamb crusted with Mediterranean herbs
