Virtus Winery
CREDO red
Noble red wine with extra-fullness and minerality resulting from blending four varieties from the Virtus’s vineyards: Prokupac 30%, Marselan 30%, Cabernet Sauvignon 30% and Pinot Noire 10%.
Character
Each of the mentioned grape varieties has left a mark on the final lasting impression of this wine. Prokupac was in charge of lightness and minerality, Marselan of fruitiness and fullness, Cabernet gave it the structure and vitality, and from Pinot Noir it has inherited all the sophistication innate in this variety. Aged for 14 months in 225-litre French and American oak barriques.
The wine has an intense ruby red colour. The scent of gorgeous fruit aromas, slightly mineral and spicy, rounded by the fine elements of oak, vanilla and tobacco smoke, gave this wine expressive fullness with ripe tannins and a juicy long finish.
Food matches for Virtus Credo Red include:
Red meat, mutton patties, ribs in cream, roasted lamb, game sausages, hard sheep’s and cow’s milk cheeses of intense smell, as well as blue cheeses and gorgonzola.
