Made up of 100% Pinot Nero grapes. Sturdy but elegant and elaborate wine. It rests for ten months in little French oak barrels. Ruby red colour, ample and intense on nose with ripe fruits, cloves and pepper scents. On palate it is intense, soft and persistent with elegant and velvety tannins which make the wine pleasant and harmonious. It goes well with cheese, red meats and with particular fish dishes.
