Gorri d’Ansa

Tasting notes

Winemaker’s notes: Brilliant and deep garnet-red color. The bouquet is pleasant and well balanced with fruit (blackcurrant and strawberry hints) and floral aromas. On the palate the attack is supple, with a good tannic finish and great aromatic length.
Food pairing: Red meat and fine cheeses.
