Tathagata 2021 - Menat

Tathagata- Menat

Tathagata di menat is a red wine obtained from 100% Gaglioppo grapes from vineyards overlooking the Ionian Sea. Destemming entirely by hand, grape by grape, spontaneous fermentation with whole grain in steel and Georgian kvevri for 14 days, followed by soft pressing. A crunchy and dynamic wine, a triumph of salt, with almost silky tannins when considering the typical reactivity of the grape

Service

It is recommended to serve it at a temperature of 16/08 ° in tulip glasses. Daily wine, but if left in the cellar a few years can give great emotions.

Pairings

Perfect with the delicate fish cuisine, it is excellent together with the baked sea bass.
