The dark berry flavors take center stage, supported by soft tannins that create a velvety smoothness and a long finish. The wine's boldness is perfectly balanced, making it approachable while maintaining a level of sophistication.

Its structure and fruit-forward profile make it a great match for hearty meals like grilled steaks, roasted lamb, or even a rich, flavorful mushroom risotto. For a lighter pairing, consider serving it with aged cheeses, charcuterie, or game birds.
It comes in a traditional 750 ml bottle, sealed with a cork. With an alcohol percentage of 14.5%, it's a wine that offers a satisfying and memorable experience without being overwhelming.
