Awards and accolades
To enjoy it at its best
Perfect for young and medium bodied red wines which don't require excessive oxygenation to open. The opening, slightly tighter than the body of the glass, favors the concentration of aromas towards the nose, enhancing the perception of aromas and limiting the dispersion
When to drink
Wine good to drink now, but that can have a beautiful evolution after resting for a while in your cellar
You can easily cellar it for 4-5 years
