Le Bastìe Rosso - Friuli Grave D.O.C.

An intense, ruby-red wine with an elegant and multi-faceted bouquet. Aromas of blackberry, black currant and plum followed by delicate vegetable fragrances, with both spiced and aromatically sweet marjoram and rosemary. The superior aging process adds a beautiful garnet colour. The taste is full and round, delicate and surrounding, and gently duplicates the subtle fragrance within the bouquet. With this harmonious, full-bodied and superior flavor, Le Bastìe Rosso is ideal with flawless red meats, such as beef fillet seasoned with pepper, and rosemary roast potatoes, game courses and seasoned cheese.
