Bright ruby red. Intense and fine bouquet of black cherries, violet, backcurrants, minth. Nice and well balanced structure.

It is an excellent wine to be served with roast meat, game and mature cheese.

climate

The 4 hectares of vineyards are situated in a slightly hilly area with excellent exposure to the sun. The name Le Bèrne, in fact, derives from a late Etruscan or Latin term (Verna or Verena) meaning “hillock”. Its altitude of 350 metres above sea-level assures a perfect microclimate for wine production.
