Light fruit notes of red and dark berries complement the minerality of the wine. On the palate: notes of red and dark fruits, such as plums and cherry, are intertwined expertly with a refreshing minerality. The wine is medium-bodied and offers an interesting, long finish.

This beautiful wine pairs perfectly with red meats and casseroles. It also pairs well with cheese plates that feature semi-hard to hard, sharp cheeses.
