Robust enough to cope with strongly flavoured red meats or try with pasta with a tomato or meat sauce.

TASTING NOTE:  

Deep ruby in colour with lush, prominent aromas of red berry and cherry fruit, hints of blackberry conserve and liquorice, enveloped in sweet toasty vanilla oak. The palate is generous and rich, showing concentrated but soft black fruits and smoky spicy, chocolatey notes. The richness of fruit and spicy oak is carefully balanced by the high acidity of the Barbera grape.
