This stunning wine combines the power of old-vine Cinsault grapes bathed in the Mediterranean sun with the meticulous winemaking techniques that Domaine d'Anjou Banesi is known for. The concentrated flavor of ripe black fruit is complemented by layers of spices, dried herbs, and mineral notes, resulting in a magnificent finish. After aging, the tannins blend into a silky texture, evolving into a deep, elegant flavor. True to its name, which means "volcanic spark," this unique red wine is filled with quiet power and passion.

Tasting Comments

Tasting Notes
Deep ruby red colour.

The aroma that rises from the glass is multi-layered, with notes of fruits such as black cherries and plums, layered with dried herbs, licorice, smoky minerals, and a hint of black pepper.

In the mouth, the fine tannins and supple acidity create a beautiful balance, with a calm, mature feel coexisting with a clear fruitiness.

The finish is long-lasting, with minerals reminiscent of iron from the black stone and schist soil, resulting in an elegant finish with quiet power.

Pairing
Roasted duck breast
Grilled Lamb with Herbs
Ratatouille and Herb Sausage
