About this wine

Grapes

A blend assembled from several separately made single-variety wines. The varieties and their proportions are not specified.

Ageing

Matured in large wooden casks to round the flavour, make the wine easier to drink and develop sweet tannins from the wood.

Technical data

A fortified red wine with 16% alcohol by volume and 12% residual sugar. Ruby red in colour. Presented in a 750 ml Bordeaux bottle, packed 12 bottles per case.

Tasting profile

The aroma is intense and penetrating with a light spicy character. The palate is pleasantly sweet yet finishes clean, revealing the substantial tannins that define its structure. A prolonged sweet note merges with a more complex aftertaste.

Serving and pairing

Serve at 10–12°C. Designed as an after-dinner wine for dry pastries, biscuits and desserts; it also pairs with Gorgonzola and Parmigiano.
