Balsamic notes surround the aroma of dark berries and chocolate. The taste is persistent without being overwhelming at first. A nice balance of fruit and structure. This wine is classic with meat or an autumnal risotto . The harmonious, mature notes go well with braised or gratinated dishes, whether without meat or cheese. The scent and taste, which is somewhat influenced by oak, makes accompanying meatless dishes a little more delicate when herbs or cabbage have a very unique character in the food.
