More questions
A red IGT that presents a warm character and a pleasantly balanced flavor profile: in the glass you notice ripe red fruit, accompanied by light spicy notes and a well-integrated herbal hint. The sip is enveloping without being imposing, with a medium-full body, smooth tannins and an acidity that supports the palate, giving it freshness and lift. The persistence is convincing, with returns of fruit and a savory sensation that invites another taste. The Magnum format makes it ideal for convivial occasions and for those seeking a bottle to accompany a shared meal; it also opens up well after a few hours of decanting.
It pairs nicely with roasted meats, stews that are not too heavy and semi-hard cheeses, but it also stands up well to rustic traditional dishes. Serve around 16–18 °C to appreciate its roundness and structure without overwhelming the subtler nuances.
