Over time, it acquires interesting spicy notes. On the palate, it is round with elegant tannins, a balance of red fruit, plum, blackberry, spicy notes, and tobacco. Harmonious with a long and persistent finish. Recommended pairing with appetizers, pasta, soups, red meats, game, and cheeses. Also perfect with a cheese fondue, especially if enriched with white truffle. Serving temperature 18-20°C.
