TASTING NOTES & IDEAL PAIRINGS
Meaty and savoury rather than bright‑fruit forward, this wine gives up smoky, amaro‑like cardamom and liquorice spice on the nose. The palate is juicy and textured, with black cherry, wild herbs, and a hint of umami, finishing with vibrant acidity and a clean, savoury grip.
Pair it with grilled mushrooms, truffle‑based dishes, gamey meats, or rich pasta with mushrooms. It also works beautifully with aged cheeses or even charcuterie.
