La Stoppa Camporomano Emilia Barbera 2013

A magnificent and extraordinarily profound natural red wine displaying a deep garnet-red color with dark, rustic reflections. The highly complex, expressive, and tertiary nose opens with an captivating bouquet of stewed dark plums, dried black cherries, and wild mulberries, masterfully layered with sophisticated notes of balsamic reduction, worn leather, damp topsoil, tar, and sweet wild spices. On the full-bodied palate, it strikes a monumental balance between intense concentration and remarkable vivacity, matching its rich, dense core of mature fruit with a naturally high, mouth-watering acidity that is characteristic of the variety, all framed by mild, deeply integrated tannins that carry into an incredibly long, smooth, and beautifully savory finish with a subtle touch of back-end warmth.

Food Pairing: Pairs flawlessly with robust dishes like slow-roasted duck or goose, wild game birds, rich pork belly bakes, mushroom-heavy stews, and seasoned, mature cheeses.
