Mazzaro
Vino Rosso IGP Puglia
Clear, garnet red. Round and complex. The aroma notes are ripe and fruity, with alcohol preserved cherries and black cherry notes; lively vegetal hints typical of vineyeards and a soft bouquet of withered flowers. Hints of pepper, leather and tobacco evolve in airy notes that recall wax, and toasty notes. The mouthfeel is dry, warm and soft. Quite fresh and savory, with lively tannin, rounded by woody refinement. A wine with great structure, balanced, intense and quite persistent.

Recommended Pairings
Perfect for succulent and fatty dishes, savory, spiced too and with a bitterish tendency. Dishes with great persistence in flavor and smell. A marbled steak, ovine ragu or the traditional sheep “alla r’zzaul”. Wonderful pairing with semi-hard cheese as well, like “caciocavallo” made from Podolica cows’ milk.
