WINE
CHARACTERISTICS
With age
it acquires a garnet red colour with orangey tints, and complex and intense
aromas of brushwood and ripe fruit. The initial tartness and sharpness are
immediately softened with slow, prolonged refinement in oak casks, which
render it balanced, smooth and velvety with notes of liquorice, leather
and tobacco. A strong and intense wine. The ideal accompaniment to game,
special roast meats and cheeses, but also excellent alone. Best served at
room temperature 16 -18¡C |
