Delicate deep red color. The nose presents concentrated aromas of strawberries and raspberries. The palate offers a refined texture and complex flavors of cherries, raspberries, licorice with a notable structure. Feels so lush, fine and delicate.This very versatile wine pairs well with white meats such as rabbit, pork, or quail as well as with fatty fish and shellfish in light and delicate preparations.
