Full body, ruby red colour, fresh and intense fruity bouquet of cherry. It’s surprisingly delicate in the mouth, balanced and velvety, concentrated but smooth. There are no bitter tannins, it ‘s an extremely pleasant wine. Great fruit and well-balanced alcohol.

Matching
Appetisers, like carpaccio, or pasta.

Back Label Translation
Fruit is the main component, at the nose you can smell the ripe and fleshy cherry, intense ruby red colour, the richness of extracts is perceivable. The taste is very strong, smooth, the palate is soft, so balanced to be very, very pleasant.
