FOOD MATCHING NOTE:
A marvellous companion to vegetable and smoked flavors, such as those of wild mushrooms and truffles. Combines nicely with subtly spiced dishes and unsmoked, medium-cured soft cheeses.
TASTING NOTE:
This wine has an intense and bright cherry-red colour. Elegant and layered on the nose, with a bouquet that combines ripe-red fruit, blackberries, pastry as well as fennel and liquorice notes. Smoked wood, nutmeg and cinnamon spices from oak ageing add complexity to the wine. Its deep earthy and mineral notes are characteristic of all the wines made from grapes sourced from the Viña Lanciano estate. This wine is structured, powerful and full bodied with a long and persistent finish.
