Appearance: Presents a beautiful intense ruby red color, bright and with good depth, with clean garnet reflections at the edges that denote its great structure and balance.

Nose: Unfolds a captivating and remarkably clear bouquet. Rich notes of ripe forest fruits, black cherries, and plums stand out, delicately intertwined with layers of sweet spices (clove, cinnamon), a subtle hint of cocoa, and a subtle balsamic and toasted background that adds distinction.

Palate: Gentle, round, and supremely balanced entry. On the palate, it is strictly dry, with a silky texture and perfectly polished tannins that give a velvety mouthfeel. It possesses a juicy and integrated acidity that refreshes the palate against the fruit's ripeness. The finish is long, clean, and supremely elegant, with an aftertaste that evokes baked black fruits and subtle spices.

Precision Gourmet Pairing: The dry, silky, and balanced character of Hida Rosso makes it an extraordinarily gastronomic red. It harmonizes magnificently with medium-fat grilled red meat cuts, beef stews, traditional bolognese lasagna, mushroom-based risottos, and pasta with complex meat sauces. It is the ideal ally for roasted poultry like duck or quail, pork ribs in a light barbecue sauce, and cheese boards with semi-cured to aged cheeses (such as Asiago, Fontina, Parmigiano Reggiano, or aged Gouda).

Suggested Moments:

• Exclusive Family Meal: The perfect bottle to preside over the table at weekend lunches, bringing loved ones together with an elegant red that accompanies a wide variety of homemade dishes.
• Gourmet Barbecue: A splendid wine to complement a gathering around the grill, gloriously pairing with both appetizer charcuterie and cheeses, and selected meat cuts.
• Special Celebration: A great option to frame significant celebrations, corporate toasts, birthdays, or receptions where a sophisticated wine that appeals to everyone is desired.
• The Perfect Gift: A distinguished, elegant, and reliable gift for friends, partners, or loved ones passionate about the harmonious style and typicality of Old World red wines.
