Tasting Notes: Brilliant and deep red, with purple hints, shows all intensity of the high altitude terroir. Intense nose, plenty of red ripe fruit. In the mouth, long tasting aftertaste, but still fresh and easy to drink. A very versatile wine, you can enjoy it just talking. Ideal to pair with lamb and other red meats, pasta and more. Of course, better if shared with friends.
