DESCRIPTION
The wine has a ruby red color. The aromas are intense and complex.
On the palate cherries, plums mixed with bitter cocoa and licorice. Flavoursome and smooth structure balanced with tannins and freshness thanks to the altitude of vineyard and the high chalk composition in the marl soil. Power combined with elegance, assuggested by the horse breed T.P.R on the label.
The wine pairs well with well–cooked meats especially if flavoured with spices and aromatic herbs and game. Ideal served with mature cheese and particularly with Parmigiano Reggiano.
