A deep ruby red colour in the glass, revealing the exceptional structure of this Montepulciano. A bouqet of ripe red fruits -cherry, bitter cherry- entertwine with flowery violet notes on the nose. The palate is well balanced and warm with a fine quality mouthfeel. This wine is well structured, harmonious and mature.

Pair this wine with traditional Italian fare especially with those dishes containing rich red meats. We recommend trying with and meat & cheese antipasto or a tomato based pasta dishes traditionally enjoyed during Italian's Primo course.
