What it pairs with
-
Whole roasted suckling pig
Concentrated fruit and dense structure call for the richest, most celebratory Castilian roasts. -
Wild venison with dark sauce
Game intensity and the wine's dark, mineral complexity are a natural fit. -
Black truffle with scrambled eggs
Pure truffle aromatics parallel the wine's earthy, mineral notes.
