Bright red in colour with a subtle ruby rim. The bouquet is a complex aroma of dried fruit and ripe blackberries, leather notes and nuances of vanilla.

A wonderful accompaniment to grilled red and game meats, risotto with wild boar, ragù with fresh pasta, venison, Castilian roasts and also a pleasure with goose.
