Tasting

Tasting note

This wine opens with a lovely expressive nose, revealing aromas of figs and stone fruits, such as plum. On the palate, it is structured, with beautiful depth and an enveloping texture which highlights its complexity. Subtle woody notes enrich the whole, providing beautiful length.

Ideal with roast pork, a turkey stuffed with figs or even stuffed guinea fowl legs.
