In the glass
What it pairs with
-
Braised beef
Long maceration and two years in cask give the tannin to carry slow-cooked beef. -
Chitarra with lamb ragu
Abruzzo's egg pasta in meat sauce meets a red built on fractional extraction rather than power alone. -
Hard aged cheese
The savoury frame from large-cask ageing suits mature cheese.
