Tasting Notes
This is Chile’s take on Nebbiolo, the classic Italian grape that is famed for its Barolo. Subtle red colour with aromas of red fruits and floral notes. The palate shows concentrated notes of cherry, strawberry, raspberry with an elegant structure due to its high acidity and tannin which is well-suited to ageing. Additional flavours of dark chocolate with a hint of walnut and black pepper for an evolving finish.
Food
To be enjoyed with rich meats and roast dinners or vegetarian lasagne.
