Ruit Hora Bolgheri DOC 2006
Origin: Tuscany, Italy
Grapes: Melot, Cabernet Sauvignon & Syrah.
Tasting Notes: This wine is aged for 12-15 months in French oak barriques and displays a wonderfully deep red colour with purple highlights. On the nose there is an immediate release of well ripened wild red berry fruit, with notes of blackberry, cherry & cassis, followed by more subtle hints of tobacco leaf & essence of spice such as cinnamon, liquorice & balsam.
The palate is complex with appealing flavours creating an impressive length & mouth feel. The finish is emphatic with dense-packed tannins & sweetish lingering undertones.
Food Pairing: Exceptionally well suited to accompany red meats, roasts and game stews as well as mature & blue cheeses such as Parmigiano Reggiano, Pecorino & Gorgonzola.
Alcohol Content: 13.5% vol
Case Size: 6 x 75cl
