Tasting notes
Vaticino is the outcome of a late harvest and long maceration on the skins. The 12-month aging in barriques gives it splendid structure but does not weigh it down. Vaticino is an intense ruby red wine, on the nose reminiscent of dried flowers and red fruit jam are perceived. Moreover, a pleasant spiciness of liquorice black pepper, cloves and vanilla with hints of coffee and tobacco. On the palate it is intense, sensual and mouth-filling, with great freshness. The tannins are velvety; the finish reminds of black cherry jam. A wine of great structure and long length.

Wine pairings
When choosing a wine pairing, we should consider only those dishes that cannot be overpowered by the vigour and personality of this wine and that have equal structure. There are predominantly fruity aromas, red fruit jam accompanied by spicy nuances of black pepper, cloves and liquorice with pleasant hints of tobacco and bitter chocolate resulting from the prolonged aging. The flavour profile of Vaticino is completed with a remarkable smoothness, and elegance properties perfect for accompanying unctuous and succulent dishes. Alcoholicity and smoothness are capable of drying the palate and mitigating these food sensations. It pairs well with full-bodied meat dishes such as pasta dishes with flavourful sauces, especially when made from game and venison. Great with sausage and aged cheeses. An excellent meditation wine, ideal to drink at the end of a meal paired with dark chocolate.
