A ruby-red wine with violet nuances. A combination of Merlot and Refosco, full of aromatic complexity with raspberry fragrance and light herb nuances, typical of our land’s Merlot. Full-bodied and rich. Soft and persistent on the palate. It goes perfectly with all red meat courses, lamb chops, Treviso radicchio, braised beef and cheese.
