The nose reveals enticing notes of cherry and very ripe marasca, followed by sweet spices, licorice, and a mineral background reminiscent of black graphite. The sip is consistent, enveloping, and supported by present but non-aggressive tannins. The structure is well-defined, the finish is long, and the persistence leaves a pleasant sensation of balance between fruit, spice, and minerality.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eRecommended pairings\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eIscha Piana 2021 Irpinia Rosso DOC\u003c\/strong\u003e pairs well with flavorful and structured dishes from Italian cuisine.
