Refinement: at least 30 months in traditional oak barrels and then in bottles in the underground cellar with controlled temperature and humidity until sale.

Organoleptic characteristics: the color is an intense red with shades from ruby ​​to garnet. The bouquet is complex with hints reminiscent of cinchona and cocoa beans, juniper and roasted coffee. The wine envelops and fills the palate thanks to a full and decisive tannin. A soft and elegant finish increases the pleasure of drinking with a persistence that never ends.

Food pairings: the wine has body and structure with a well-present tannin, ideal with tasty dishes with clear and evident succulence such as: roast wild boar loin; beef diaphragm with ponzu and sesame sauce with kale; rib eye steak in red wine; braised in barolo.
