TASTING NOTE

Colour: a deep, brilliant ruby red

Nose:intense hints of succulent cherries and berry fruits (blackberri s, redcurrants), accompanied by spicy notes and faint nuances of pipe tobacco

Flavour: dry yet rounded, with rich fruity sensations, an elegant spiciness and a delicate almond-like aftertaste. This wine is remarkably characterful and, at the same time, easy-to-drink

Serving suggestions: an ideal match for typical Veronese cuisine (mixed boiled meats with pearà sauce, or with tortellini di Valeggio), it is also excellent for accompanying meat ravioli and roast, braised or stewed meats. It goes very well with mature cheeses (Monte Veronese, Asiago, Parmigiano Reggiano, Grana Padano)

Note: the Veneto’s first d.o.c.G. red wine, it can even be aged for a few years

Alcohol: 13% vol.
