Tasting: the color is a deep red with shades ranging from soft ruby to garnet. The aroma is complex, with notes of undergrowth and red sandalwood. It is pleasantly fruity, with hints of red currant and Sicilian orange. The spiciness is delicate, featuring pink pepper and cinnamon. Subtle hints of cinchona and violet emerge as well. On the palate, it is elegant and enveloping. The silky tannins make each sip long and persistent.

A pleasant freshness adds great intensity to the aftertaste.

Food pairing: the wine displays elegance, freshness, and silky tannins, making it ideal to pair with flavorful dishes that have a slight fattiness and good succulence: ossobuco with Milanese risotto, tajarin with chicken livers, lamb sweetbreads, king oyster mushrooms and pecorino, beef pastrami, Piedmontese fattened beef rib steak, and roasted late-harvest radicchio.
