di Lenardo Ronco Nole 2022

Intense ruby red , the palate reveals a wealth of soft round taste, fine-grained tannins; great breadth of flavour, mouthfilling weight and superb intensity. A perfect symphony of the three grapes that compose it. The Merlot gives softness and tenderness to the structure, The Cabernet ( a mix of Cabernet Franc and Cabernet Sauvignon ) lends its spicy notes and to conclude The Refosco add some acidity and ruby colour to the whole. Pair with meat, the obvious pair. Especially slightly fattier steaks like ribeye and sirloin, served rare to medium. Beef short ribs and other braised beef dishes. Butterflied lamb, chargrilled steak, venison. Dishes like cassoulet or duck with olives if they're more rustic. Roast goose. Glazed ham. Roast or grilled lamb: A butterflied leg of lamb or a lamb steak with rosemary is always a winner. Add a gratin dauphinoise on the side and you're in clover. Cheese. Brie and similar cheeses. Milder blue cheeses such as Gorgonzola dolce. Blue cheeses like Gorgonzola work well especially in combination with a steak or a burger. A side of cheesy polenta will also help show off a good cab.
