Decoro

Wine designation

Red Piemonte DOC

Variety

90% Barbera - 7% Merlot - 3% Cabernet Sauvignon

Tasting Notes

Colour

Ruby red, dark, almost impenetrable but still very lively, sparkly notes

Scents

Rich, tones of blackberries, ripe cherries, black plums and blueberries with light and delightful hints of wood created by the refining in medium sized oak barrels. These hints are intensely fruity with scents of vanilla, chocolate and other spices.

Taste

Full, strong structure but also smooth and pleasant taste. Rich with smooth tannins which give the wine an interesting aftertaste. The high alcohol content is incredibly harmonizing with the full body of the wine and complete with pleasant hints of fresh toasted fruits.

Gastronomic combination

Well accompanies game, roasts, red meats in general and seasoned cheeses
