WINEMAKER'S NOTES: "Deep garnet red. An expressive nose shows fresh red fruits like plums and cherries, accompanied by soft, delicious vanilla and tobacco notes. On the palate it is fresh, with ripe, soft tannins leading a pleasant, slightly sweet finish."

Recommended food parings: pastas, fillet of sole, chicken, turkey and pork.
