Made in stainless steel from Fer Servadou grapes. The wine has a purple color of medium intensity and a fragrant and precise aroma with dark notes of iron and slate, spicy ones of paprika and a touch of blood on a background of blackcurrant. The loose mouthfeel has a medium body and on the palate is much fruitier than in the nose (again blackcurrant) and the tannins are subtle. The finish is bitter and bold and distinguished by notes of dandelion and burnt radicchio with a spicy hint of paprika. Truly very persistent.
Imagine a mix between Madrian (without the earthy note of humus) and Colli Orientali del Fruli, with the easy drinkability of a Beaujolais. Locally, they pair it with tripe and smoked salmon, while we tried it with a roast lamb and pork dish and it worked magnificently. This seemed at its peak and the quality/price ration was outstanding.
