Tasting Notes (The Sensory Experience)

• To the eye: It dresses the glass with an intense and brilliant ruby red color, enriched by youthful purple hues that testify to its beautiful freshness and integrity.

• On the nose: The bouquet is captivating, clean, and extremely pleasant. The crisp notes of red and black fruits, such as plum, morello cherry, and blackcurrant (characteristic of Merlot), immediately stand out. The noble notes of Cabernet Sauvignon emerge immediately after, with hints of black pepper, light herbaceous nuances of Mediterranean scrub, and a balsamic touch of eucalyptus.

• On the palate: The palate is strikingly balanced. The entry is soft, rounded, and mellow, thanks to smooth tannins that caress the mouth without being overpowering. The excellent acidity lends pace and freshness to the drink, leading to a clean, fruity, and persistent finish.

Thanks to its balance between structure and softness, the 2025 Virgo is an incredibly versatile wine at the table:

• Red Meats and Grilled Meats: Splendid with sliced beef, mixed skewers, pork ribs or gourmet burgers.

• First Courses with Ragù and Baked Pasta: It pairs perfectly with Sunday lasagna, cannelloni, or pasta with meat and mushroom ragù.
