Intense ruby red in colour, on the nose it has pronounced red fruit, violet and almond aromas. In the mouth it is grapey and dry, with a slightly bitter aftertaste as is characteristic of this variety. Its freshness and aroma-flavour balance make it an easy to drink, pleasant wine. It is an everyday wine, which goes well with all courses, from starters to full flavoured pasta and rice dishes and fairly mild flavoured meat dishes.
