Full-bodiedFirm tanninHigh acidityDryLong finish

Aroma: berries, balsamic, Mediterranean woodland, dried rose

Palate: elegant, assertive tannin

A Riserva from the Mondoca parcel in Bussia, with a mellow, elegant bouquet of berries, balsamic notes, woodland and dried rose developing tar with age, and an elegant, assertive tannic texture with a long finish.

What it pairs with

  • Bollito misto
    The Riserva's structure stands up to the boiled meats.
  • Braised beef cheek
    Rich collagen melts against the firm tannin.
  • Aged Bra cheese
    Hard cheese mirrors the mineral grip.
