Comment : Garnet-red color. Fresh fruits notes with a hint of hazelnuts. Silky tannins with slight toasted finish.
Can be enjoyed from now on. Will taste at his best if served at normal temperature. If possible, open the bottle an hour or so before pouring to let the wine breathe. Try it with cold meat starters, grilled, roasted white meats, roasted red meats.
