La Flor del Flor de Primavera Samsó
Samsó
100% Cariñena from old vines
Red ruby of medium to high intensity and violet reflects. Pronounced aromas of herbs and liquorice, together with toasted and peppery notes. On the palate it shows a big and fleshy body so characteristic to this varietal, showcasing notes of cooked red fruits. Long and complex finish with layers of leather, dried fruits, cigars, and dark chocolate.
The big body this wine offers will pair nicely with plates of a similar caliber, such as red meats and stews. On a more vegan friendly level, this wine pairs perfectly with a wide arrange of cheeses and pasta plates or roasted vegetables.
