The nose is layered and expressive, opening on ripe red and dark berries—black cherry, plum, and wild blackberry—lifted by floral hints of violet and rose. As it evolves, savoury tones emerge: dried herbs, green pepper, bay leaf, and subtle earthy spice, all underpinned by gentle notes of tobacco, cocoa, and graphite-like minerality.

Medium to full-bodied with a supple yet structured frame. The fruit is juicy and immediate, carried by fresh acidity that gives lift and definition. Tannins are present but finely woven, giving grip without hardness. The mid-palate shifts from sweet dark fruit into savoury complexity—herbal tones, spice, and a faint balsamic edge—leading into a dry, persistent finish marked by red fruit, spice, and volcanic earth.

A versatile food wine that shines with grilled or roasted meats, rustic pasta dishes with ragù, herb-crusted lamb, roasted vegetables, and semi-aged cheeses.
