TASTING NOTES
A deep purple colour on the appearance. Enticing aromas of black cherry, balsamic herbs, coffe and light vanilla notes. Full-bodied, ripe and complex, with polished tannins and a fresh aftertaste.
This delicious wine masterpiece is dedicated to Philip Mazzei (1730-1816), an illustrious ancestor of the family, political thinker, American Patriot and pioneer, together with Thomas Jefferson, of the viticulture in Virginia.
PAIRING
Best enjoyed with game stews, spicy food and aged and blue cheeses.
