Production Details The technical table states 14–16 months in oak barrels with 20% new barrels. The same page's sommelier description instead says 30% new barrels, so its new-oak proportion is internally conflicting and should not be treated as settled.
Tasting Notes Ruby colour; wild berries, strawberry, cherry, plum, peach and mushroom; medium-bodied, elegant and harmonious, with pleasant acidity and tannins and a persistent finish.
Food Pairing Light- to medium-structured dishes; roasted or stewed red meat; richer white meat; tomato-based or spiced dishes; cheeses; tomato-and-bacon pasta, duck with orange sauce, or mushroom risotto.
