TASTING
It shows a ruby red color with violet hues. The nose immediately reveals fruity aromas of red fruits such as strawberries, cherries, raspberries and black currants, then delicate floral (such as violets) and herbaceous notes united by a nice freshness. On the palate, the body is medium, with lively acidity. The tannins are soft, but the finish is persistent and continues to develop in the mouth after swallowing. A good balance between fruit acidity and tannins, making it very versatile in pairings.
RECOMMENDED PAIRINGS
It is a very versatile red wine, it can be paired with 1) light fish such as grilled salmon, raw tuna (as in sushi), trout or cod; 2) white meats, also served with light herb or mushroom based sauces; 3) mushroom dishes such as mushroom risotto, pasta with mushrooms or truffle risotto; 4) cheeses: especially soft cheeses and goat’s milk cheeses; salads and big salads perhaps with nuts; 5) even light dishes such as a simple pasta with tomato sauce, chicken burgers, pizza 6) great for vegetarian and vegan cooking.
