TASTING
TerreMurate is an extra-dry raisin wine, reminiscent in some ways, especially in its highly complex olfactory bouquet, of fortified wines such as “Port.” The sip is full, soft and consistent with the nose, long persistent and reveals an unexpected freshness with superb but not aggressive tannins, well balanced by the alcohol that leaves the palate toned and clean.
RECOMMENDED PAIRINGS
It is the ideal meditation wine, drunk without the need for food pairings. However, it goes very well with blue cheeses, dark chocolate, desserts and dried fruits. Also try it with meat dishes served with rich sauces (e.g., filet Rossini) or with very spicy foods.
AGING POTENTIAL
It can be enjoyed right away, but it has the potential to age for at least 10 years, during which it will be further enriched in complexity and structure.
RECOMMENDED SERVING TEMPERATURE
18°-20°C
