Wine with an intense ruby red color. Complex aroma with hints of spices, tobacco and leather. Full-bodied wine with a complex, persistent and well-balanced taste. A wine for great aging, it expresses its best when decanted. A pleasant and meditative red, it can also be paired with mature cheeses, first courses with meat sauces, and second courses of grilled or roasted meat.
