Carmenere

Tasting notes

This wine showcases a ruby red color with intense violet reflections that catch the eye. On the nose, it offers a pure expression of fresh fruit, highlighted by plum notes, spices, and a touch of tobacco on the finish, adding complexity and depth. On the palate, it presents velvety tannins of good intensity, leading to a long and elegant finish.

Pairing recommendation

This wine’s balanced profile makes it an excellent pairing for various dishes that enhance its vibrant character. With pasta, it pairs especially well with sauces that incorporate earthy or savory elements, such as mushroom-based sauces or classic marinara with fresh herbs, as these flavors complement the wine’s hints of plum and spice. Creamy pasta dishes, like Alfredo or carbonara, also match wonderfully, as the wine’s velvety tannins cut through the richness, creating a harmonious contrast.

With fresh cheeses like mozzarella, ricotta, or burrata, the wine’s pure fruit expression and tobacco finish shine, bringing out subtle flavors in the cheese while adding layers of complexity to each bite. The softness of fresh cheeses pairs smoothly with the wine’s elegant tannins, enhancing both the texture of the cheese and the wine’s long finish.

For pork dishes, this wine’s fruity and spicy notes beautifully complement grilled or roasted pork, whether it’s served with herbs, a mild spice rub, or even a plum-based glaze. The intensity of the wine elevates the flavors in pork, while the smoky touch of tobacco and spice creates a depth that matches the savory, juicy quality of the meat.

This pairing offers a well-rounded experience that balances fruit, spice, and a touch of smokiness, perfect for a memorable dining experience.
