Nose: intense with fruity notes of red plum and blackcurrant (cassis) and floral notes of violet and cyclamen. Also present is moss and the mineral note that recalls freshly plowed soil.
Taste: soft and velvety in the mouth, with sweet tannins and a pleasantly acidic aftertaste.
Food Pairing: Wine suitable for red meats and game, especially fur. Also excellent with duck breast, baked guinea fowl and medium-aged cheeses. Surprising with important fish.
Ageing: Red vinification. The Recantina grapes are harvested in the first ten days of October and vinified in steel with contact between the skin and must-wine for approximately 15 days. This is then followed by a subsequent malolactic fermentation and aging in wood. This takes place in 2.5 T Slavonian oak barrels for a period of 12-14 months. This is then followed by bottling and a short refinement in the bottle before being placed on the market.
