	The color is a bright ruby red, with purple nuances. The nose gives off elegant nuances of violet, wilted rose and small red fruits. These are intertwined with spicy notes of black pepper and salty caper. The mouthfeel is full, enveloping and balanced. The tannins are dense and persistent.
	Excellent pairing with grilled meats, roasts and aged cheeses. It goes very well with structured fish dishes. Serve at 16-18 °C.
