Ruby red color. Fresh and fruity nose, with cherry aromas mingled with subtle pencil lead and smoke tones. The palate features friendly, silky tannins in a juicy, balanced wine with moderate structure that?s easy to drink.

This wine is ideal for pairing with well- seasoned, intensely-flavored dishes such as barbecued meat (beef, pork or poultry), pasta with Bolognese sauce, stuffed cannelloni, mushroom risotto or simpler fare such as ripe cheeses, salami, ham and pastrami.
