Description

Ruby red with violet reflections. Intense and deep wine that reflects the territory in all its warmth and splendor. The delicate aging in fine oaks has contributed to its aromatic complexity: the nose expresses an intense bouquet of ripe red fruits such as black cherry in alcohol, currant, wild blackberry, and violet enriched with toasted notes of cocoa, tobacco, leather and coffee. In the mouth it is full and elegant with velvety tannins, with good acidity and long persistence. Fruit and spices come together harmoniously, leaving flavors of cherries and cocoa to be perceived in the mouth. The aftertaste is intense with balsamic and pleasantly fruity notes. Thanks to its excellent structure and fruit concentration it is a wine capable of evolving and improving for many years in the bottle. Pairings: excellent with red meats, fatty and succulent dishes, tasty and spicy dishes. Cured meats and aged cheeses and typical dishes of the Abruzzo region: sheep skewers, liver sausages, grilled lamb and mutton, ribs of beef and game meats. Serving temperature 16 degrees.
