100% Raboso Piave. Medium ruby in color with a slight brick color developing at the meniscus. Aromas of red cherry, dried rose, licorice, nutmeg, black pepper, thyme, mint, eucalyptus, leather, sandalwood, and dried hay lead into a layered palate of black plum, bramble, blackcurrant leaf, black tea, anise, baked cinnamon, vanilla, smoke, chocolate, sweet tobacco, and wet leaves. Dry with medium acidity, medium-plus chalky tannins, medium-plus body, medium-plus flavor intensity, and a long, persistent finish. Beautifully evolved, with ripe fruit giving way to savory, earthy, and spice-driven tertiary complexity. A wine with many nuances that benefits from a little air.
Food Pairing: Feathered game, venison, roast beef, grilled meats, braised dishes, mature cheeses, aged Parmesan
