🍷 A Southern Italian Grape with Aussie Flair—Bright, Juicy, and Elegantly Structured
✨ In the Glass
Deep crimson with a ruby edge—vivid and intense, showing both ripeness and restraint.
👃 On the Nose
Fragrant and lifted. Aromas of red cherry, blackberry, and wild raspberry are underscored by notes of violet, spice, and a hint of dried herbs.
💫 On the Palate
Medium-bodied and vibrant. Juicy dark fruits are balanced by fresh acidity and fine-grained tannins, with subtle earthy tones and a whisper of liquorice. The finish is bright, savoury, and beautifully poised.
🍽️ Food Pairing
Pair with grilled lamb, eggplant parmigiana, herbed pork, or tomato-based pasta dishes. Also a great match for antipasti or aged cheeses.
⏳ Ageing Potential
Drinking well now, but will evolve gracefully over the next 5–7 years.
