Día de parrilla, domingo familiar, un solcito rico, me soprende lo versátiles que pueden ser estos vinos, los hemos probado con pastas acompañadas de salsas de todo tipo, con guisos y ahora con carnes de pollo, res y chancho, salchichas hot dog, salchichas blancas y de guarnición ensalada de lechuga, tomate, palta, armonía perfecta! Mil gracias a mi colega Carlos Meza de Il Pastificio cada día aprendo mas sobre los vinos italianos con él. Buen Domingo! — 10 years ago
Medium (but translucent) ruby color. Aromas of red and black fruit, lavender, mint, toasted oak and wet gravel. Flavors of red cherries, raspberries and plums, tobacco, black tea and roasted nuts. Hint of wet soil on the long and fresh finish. Plush tannins. Well rounded and intense but with quite the delicate structure. Bright acidity and full bodied and ripe. Excellent! Thank you for opening this one, Keith S! — 6 months ago
