Fragrance:  "In the nose, violets and musky rose, followed by dark notes of Mediterranean shrubbery, bark, rust, rhubarb, and blood tones emerge, ultimately confirmed by menthol balsamico and licorice."
Taste:The taste is full-bodied, powerful, with fine tannins and a great extraction, where alcohol is diluted by the freshness of tartaric acid, the finish is savory and vegetal.

Dish combinations:

• Various dishes with grilled meat or game. Especially preparations with lamb are a very good match.

For those who thought that wines made with the Nerello Mascalese grape were only produced in Sicily! This is a standout, differing so much from its counterpart in Sicily that the wines from Calabria are much fruitier.
