A cultural icon, an essential wine. Cherry-red color with good robe. Spicy, balsamic aromas of great complexity, with notes of ripe dark berries and light toasted nuances. On the palate it is full and tasty, with good structure and rounded elegant tannins. The finish is long and fresh, with a slight reminder of the fine oak. Pairs well with ham, cheeses not very cured, stews with sauces not very spicy, cooked or stewed legumes, poultry, red meats, grilled and roasted meats.
