Pairs well with: Pasta Bolognese, tuna with tomato compote.

Notes:

A very characteristic nose associated with Italian wines (I know very generic!): red fruits, cedar, and hint of mushrooms.

On the palate it is thin, soft and almost velvety. Red fruits and a bit mineral, perhaps a bit too acidic without food. Gains a lot from decanting!
