Lungarotti San Giorgio 2018
A wine with ample, solid structure and very intense ruby red with garnet reflections. The aroma releases notes of cassis and bilberry and persistent plum jam, elegant, light woody note with a background of cinnamon, cocoa and balsamic notes. A decidedly concentrated, dense, pulpy opening with ripe and enveloping tannins and a long, persistent finish.

Colour

Deep ruby with intense purple nuances.

Bouquet

Intense, complex and ample, it reveals hints of red jam and sweet spices. The finish has a pleasant balsamic touch on a lightly mentholated background.

Flavour

Powerful structure with a pronounced hint of red fruit; great concentration and harmony. Juicy with dense, warm tannins; very long finish, pleasantly fresh.

Pairing

It pairs well with roasted red meat, game and venison as well as spicy cheeses.
