SENSORY INFORMATION Introducing this wine is a deep, intense red, which shades into garnet with aging. The nose offers an elegant array of complex aromatics, the result of a marriage between floral notes of violets and fruity impressions of morello cherry and bottled blueberries. Amphora ageing maintains exuberant fruity notes and smooths the tannins. The finish is quite long and is marked by the aromas already met on the nose. SERVING SUGGESTIONS Delicious with roasts and grilled game, as well as with aged cheeses.
