Korem

Other Red Grape or Blend

Made from a blend of 55% Bovale Sardo, 35% Carignano and 10% Cannonau harvested from mid-September to mid-October. To ensure fine-grained but juicy tannins and solid structure, the must remains in contact with the skins for 10-12 days until fermentation is completely carried over. Korem is aged in Allier barriques for 12 months prior to bottling for extra finesse.

Tasting Notes

Intense, concentrated ruby red in color, Korem offers a full bouquet of black fruits, cedar, black currants, leather and chocolate. Warm and full-bodied on the palate, with excellent depth of flavor and firm tannins framing a juicy and dense texture.

Food Pairing

Serve with roasted baby pork, braised ribs or lamb.
