Bussia : Intense ruby red with aromas of ripe raspberries, pomegranate, violets and balsamic. Powerful in the mouth with dried fruit, firm but elegant tannins and a long finish.

-
Cannubi : Light brick red with scents of roses, iris, red berries and camphor. The taste is refined with notes of raspberries, strawberry compote and star anise, supported by polished tannins.
Food pairing
These wines go well with dishes such as ossobuco, risotto with mushrooms or truffle, game dishes and matured hard cheeses such as Parmigiano Reggiano.
