The expressive nose bursts with aromas of bramble, dark plum, and rich dark chocolate. Signature notes of purple flowers, dried sage, and distinctive black olives follow closely. The palate reveals a savory, textured core packed with succulent crushed blackberries, salted licorice, and white pepper. Fine-grained tannins provide a grippy structure, while a stony texture carries into a long finish. Serve this savory red wine at a cool room temperature around 16°C to 18°C. It complements hearty meat dishes beautifully, including roast leg of lamb, grilled venison loin, and slow-braised beef shanks. The fine-grained tannins and black pepper spice also stand up excellently to rich, earthy mushroom risottos and mature cheeses.
