It is generally medium-bodied, supple, elegant, with good freshness, moderate alcohol and silky tannins. Pink pepper, jasmine and mint that intertwine creating a vibrant fresco and serve to frame a delicate fruit, ethereal, made of cherries, currants, citrus, pomegranate and blueberries.

The ease with which it cuts the fat and create a bond with lots of food without cover the more delicate flavors is amazing. A single advice: choose not too elaborate-fatty dishes and avoid super spicy food that can burn its daintiness in a blink of an eye. Excellent with roasted white meat, but with fish fillets too. Uncork a Pinot Noir and pair it with a simple, creamy risotto with truffles and you will see that the earthy notes of both will create a great harmony on your palate.
