Description
ABV: 13%
APPEARANCE: Deep garnet red, shows signs of ageing on rim
AROMAS: Ripe red berry fruits with hint of spice and leather from French barrel ageing
TASTE: Lovely deep concentration of damson and plum fruit with traces of licorice or spice. Lightly oaked, with a noticeably savoury and earthy character. Dry with supple, rounded tannins, wine will benefit from opening in advance
FOOD PAIRING: Try with roast or grilled meats, especially chicken, lamb or beef; also pasta ragú, mildly spiced dishes or well medium flavoured cheeses
OVERALL: Has matured beautifully, now drinking very well and will do so for a couple more years. Nominally the winery’s second label, there is nothing second rate about the Fausto brand!
