Profile: Dense ruby colour; intense and complex bouquet composed of black pepper, licorice root, raw cocoa, followed by notes that recall the leather of tuscan tanneries. From the very first sip, it amazes the mouthfeel with its freshness and elegance. Perfectly balanced, it expands softly on notes of officinal herbs and spices. Full-bodied and very long on the finish.

Food Pairing: Stewed goose, Mediterranean bonito.
