color

Olfaction

Broad, complex, fascinating, with ripe red berries characteristic of the grape variety (raspberry, strawberry), accompanied by subtle spicy and woody undertones

palate

It imposes itself on the sip for a range of complex and rare flavors ranging from well-ripened red fruits to spicy spices, from balsamic to aromatic woods. The wine's texture is silky yet dense, with well-melted acidity and noble tannins capable of delivering a harmonious finish with returns of red fruits and spices

PAIRINGS

According to transalpine tradition, it goes well with feathered game (pigeon, quail, woodcock), hare, snails, and recipes based on noble red-fleshed and fatty fish (salmon, tuna, turbot), or with medium-aged semi-hard or hard cheeses
