TAURASI D.O.C.G. Riserva Vigna Cinque Querce

 

Organoleptic characteristics: wine with an impenetrable color, revealing its ruby with slightly hinted garnet reflections. Visually compact, with a remarkable olfactory impact that immediately reveals great complexity, with hints ranging from cherry-like fruits and plum jams to spices and toasted notes. On the palate, it presents itself full-bodied, with good softness supported by a present acidity and elegant tannins. The persistence is long, with a range of sensations of ripe fruit and jams that then shift towards the toasted notes of coffee and cocoa. It pairs well with rich and elaborate dishes such as braised meats, stews, game, hard or aged cheeses.
