In its optimal conditions, it can have an alcohol content of 13-14% vol. and is characterised by a dry flavour, great structure and elegance, with a dense and persistent expression of soft tannins.   AND Considered an important wine, it pairs well with meat-based first courses and is ideal with red meats and mature cheeses.
