A dark crimson red in colour. On the nose, aromas of pomegranate and cloves with warm tannic notes. On the palate, complex and mineral with dried fruit flavours backed up with notes of almonds and smoke. The tannins give this wine excellent structure and the finish is smooth and lingering. Try with caponata siciliana - a traditional vegetable stew of courgettes, potatoes, celery and peppers all cooked with green olives, capers, pine nuts and fresh basil. Also excellent with veal cutlets coated with breadcrumbs, grated provolone, garlic and parsley.
