About wine: The wine is an intense red gold with amber hues that show prolonged maceration, while it remains lively. The fragrance is dominated by balsamic notes, the scent of fruit conserves, baked apples and a flowering meadow surrounded by acacia trees. In the mouth it turns out with mature fullness, softness, and perfect harmony. It reminds of buttered bread with raisins, also warm spices, caramel notes, and red grapefruit. The aftertaste is long, mineral, gently spicy and seductive.
Pairing suggestions: Wine and food: We recommend Amfora Belo Erzetič for omelettes with herbs, stews with peas, roasted liver with fennel flowers, stuffed artichokes, oily-fish dishes, grilled suckling pig and grilled meat, all dishes with lamb and goat, stewed beef, ri
