Serving suggestions and food pairings
Serve this wine at around 18°C to reveal its aromatics and keep the fruit and structure in harmony. A large-bowled red glass helps concentrate the aromas and softens the perception of tannin.
Grilled meats and barbecue: smoky, charred flavours from the grill marry well with the wine’s ripe fruit and peppery finish, cutting through fattier cuts and enhancing savoury notes.
Hearty red meats and lamb: beef and mutton benefit from the wine’s moderate tannins and acidity, which help refresh the palate between rich bites.
Pizza, pasta and tomato-based dishes: the wine’s fruit-driven profile complements tomato acidity and robust sauces, while its structure stands up to cheesy toppings and cured meats.
Strong cheeses and spicy sausages: bold, salty cheeses and well-seasoned charcuterie find a partner here; the wine’s fruit and subtle spice frame the intensity without clashing.
