A wine with ruby ​​red highlights and a lovely consistency in the glass. The aromas are beautifully vertical on the nose, with distinct sensations of ripe cherry and berries. Spicy notes of black pepper and cloves complement a pleasant, slightly balsamic sensation of fine herbs, rosemary, and thyme. On the palate, it is particularly elegant, with clean, sinuous tannins. It has a good savory character and a decisive structural freshness. It has a good persistence and a delicately almondy finish.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch5\u003e Pairing\u003c\/h5\u003e\n\n \u003cp\u003eThis remarkably elegant wine pairs beautifully with traditional Venetian cured meats and medium-aged cheeses, preferably cow's milk.
