Description
The estate wine is named after Prince Ferdinand von Montenuovo. This red blend is the midway between classic elegant and noble, as well as powerful and spicy-fruity red wines. The initial scent and the long aftertaste both bring about rose hip jam and caramel candy. The refreshing acidity contributes to a rougher velvet texture. The aromas evoke notes of cinnamon and blackberry. Due to its complexity, this wine is a true jolly joker: it pairs well with grilled and roasted dishes, as well as steaks.
