Pleasantly full and fresh with outstanding fruitiness and an appealing grassy vein.

Dry, slightly tannic, full-bodied, generous with a good balanced and a pleasantly lingering finish.
SERVING TEMPERATURE
It is best appreciated when served between 16° and 18° C. (62 - 68° F.).
FOOD MATCHES
It can be served during a whole meal, although it matches particularly well cold cuts, tasty pastas, roasted or grilled meat and moderately aged cheese.
