Description of Contino Graciano

Contino Graciano 2015, a Graciano monovarietal with the elegance worthy of a French "Château". Although it is becoming more and more frequent, it is not usual to find monovarietals of Graciano. This variety gives us an intense, lively and aromatic wine. Fruity on the nose, with a predominance of wild red fruits and balsamic backgrounds. Full in the mouth, with nerve and very long, intense aftertaste where the fruits return and also with a certain mineral note.

Ideal pairing

Meats, Feather hunting
Sausages
