The Agenais region, located in the South West of France, boasts a unique climate influenced by both the Atlantic Ocean and the Pyrenees Mountains. This results in wines that display a beautiful balance of fruitiness, acidity, and earthy undertones. 'Laborio' is no exception, offering a well-rounded profile that delights the senses. Its structure and tannin balance allow enjoying it right away but also have the potential to age for a decade.
Pair this magnificent wine with a variety of dishes to elevate your dining experience. 'Laborio' complements rich meats such as grilled steak, roasted lamb, or duck confit beautifully. Its complexity also makes it a great match for earthy dishes like mushroom risotto, truffle pasta, or aged cheeses. For a more casual setting, enjoy it with hearty stews or charcuterie boards.
