WINE PAIRING
DAMARE ROSATO
DAMARE ROSSO
Damare Rosso was born from the desire to express the great vocation of the territory in an international key; Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot and Petit Verdot together to express harmony, elegance and pleasantness in a modern wine with an unmistakable Tuscan style.
TASTING NOTES
Intense purple color with notes of blackberries, strawberry jam and blackcurrant. It has a beautiful floral freshness, Damascus rose, with mentholated and tantalizing references of eucalyptus and glacial mint. In the mouth the nice grip of the tannin is striking, the slight herbaceous notes, which blend with green pepper, tobacco and hints of Mediterranean scrub from which it also seems to draw laurel and mastic in the agile and fresh finish but always intensely fruity and intimately sweet.
