Tasting Notes

Elegant, spicy, hints of black cherry, dried figs and prunes. Smooth and velvety tannins with balanced sweetness. This dessert wine lights up the glass with its vibrant nuanced colors. It’s marvelous when served with chocolate fondue but it also pairs well with any oven-fired dessert, like Verona-style pandoro, classic panettone, or even crunchy cookies.
