Curation Note
Often called 'the lost grape of Bordeaux', Carmenere found a new home in northern Italy, here producing a deep ruby wine with its signature aromas of ripe black cherry, smoked paprika, dark chocolate, and an intriguing, exotic spice. Medium-full bodied with velvety tannins, it delivers a long, complex finish with a distinctive savoury edge. Outstanding with slow-cooked beef, spiced lamb, barbecue, dark chocolate desserts, and strong aged cheeses.
