Tasting notes
Vivid ruby red colour in evolution.The bouquet offers secondary aromas still in evolution of blackberry briars, laurel, and light nuances of geranium. Hints of tamarind and graphite in the second stage. The taste is smooth with tannins well-integrated with the fruit component and the flavor is brought out with a sour tendency that connects the whole.
Pairings
Important dishes of red meats, wild fowl, well seasoned hard cheeses.
Why we like it
This red wine from the Valtènesi region is the result of the same philosophy of production as our Lugana Fabio Contato. The product is produced usng different varieties located in our historic vineyards and from the oldest grapevines in the Valtenesi area. The wine, made partially from grapes subject to drying process, matures for over a year in French oak barriques. It is a highly expressive wine, with concentrated structure and an extremely long aftertaste.
