Biferno DOC Rosso Riserva is produced in Molise, between inland hills and the Adriatic coast, from Montepulciano (80%) and Aglianico (20%) grapes. It is an intense wine with a full and complex bouquet, combining structure and elegance.
On the nose, it is intense and ethereal, with broad nuances ranging from spices to vanilla and cinnamon, with well-integrated wood notes.
On the palate, it is robust and enveloping, harmonious and velvety, with delicate tannins and a full, rounded finish. The aftertaste is excellent, with notes of cherry jam, plum, and vanilla nuances.
It pairs perfectly with roasts, red meats, elaborate beef and lamb dishes, braised beef, traditional cured meats, and aged cheeses such as Pecorino.
