TASTING NOTES
A robust, intense and elegant wine, it is deep ruby red in colour, with a broad and enveloping nose reminiscent of forest fruits entwined with hints of juniper, tobacco and coffee.
The high plant density and consequently low yields in the vineyard contribute to this wine's characteristic concentration. Ageing potential: 10-12 years.
FOOD PAIRINGS
La Grola is well suited to accompany roasted red meats prepared with rich sauces, in particular lamb and kid. It is also delicious with pan-fried or grilled mushrooms and with mild cheeses.
