Flavor profile

Black cherry and berries with spice, structured tannins and a long, warm finish.

Pairing & serving

Serve at 60–64°F (16–18°C) with lamb, beef ragù or aged pecorino. Check for sediment and taste before giving a developed bottle a brief decant.

After opening & when to enjoy

Recork and refrigerate after opening. Enjoy the same day for the fullest aroma, or assess the next day before serving; developed wines can fade quickly. Let a chilled glass warm slightly.
