The aromas are rich and inviting, promising a complex and satisfying tasting experience. Upon tasting, this wine reveals a harmonious balance between its fruitiness and its well-integrated tannins. The flavors of black fruits continue to dominate, with additional notes of black pepper and a touch of smokiness. The wine's medium to full body provides a pleasant mouthfeel, while its vibrant acidity adds freshness and liveliness to the overall profile. Clai Ottocento Crni is a wine that can be enjoyed on its own or paired with a variety of dishes. Its versatility allows it to complement grilled meats, hearty stews, or aged cheeses. The wine's structure and depth make it suitable for aging, allowing it to develop further complexity over time.
