Ruby red colour with typical brick-red hints which become more evident with ageing. It has a very pronounced bouquet of red fruits, cherry in particular and jammy, with almond and vanilla notes. Can be without character if too young, it improves markedly with age to give excellent structure and velvety sensations due to the perfect harmony of the constituents. Matches well with risotto, roast lamb, guinea fowl casserole, grilled white meats.
