The estate's Bordeaux blend (Merlot + Cabernet Sauvignon) with 18 months in barrique. Black plum and leather over a fine grainy tannin.

What it pairs with

  • Brasato di manzo
    Beef braised in red wine finds its match in the wine's firm tannin and graphite depth; classic Friulian winter pairing.
  • Wild boar pappardelle
    Gamey ragù meets the wine's leather and tobacco depth; fine grainy tannin handles the boar fat.
  • Aged Montasio stravecchio
    The Friulian cow cheese echoes the wine's graphite finish; firm tannin scrubs the cheese fat.

History
