It pairs naturally with grilled red meats, braises and aged cheeses, but can also stand up to mushroom dishes and savory ragùs. To best appreciate its perfume and structure, serve at around 16–18 °C and consider a short decanting for younger bottles to soften the tannins. Ideal for informal dinners and occasions when you want a wine with a commanding yet measured character.
