Colour

It offers a ruby red full of violet reflections.

Bouquet

The nose opens with sensations of the marasca cherry, wild strawberries and raspberry, followed by citrus notes of morello and bergamot oranges. Santa Maria is floral with clean sensations of violet, liquorice root, spicy notes of juniper, ginger, nutmeg and green pepper.

Flavour

The palate is soft, but fresh and harmonized. Long persistence, the aftertaste returns to the spices and to the citrus.

Pairing

Braised rabbit or chicken, but pairs beautifully with medium-aged cheeses as well.
