 |
Palette: Deep ruby with hints of purple. |
 |
Bouquet: Scents of ripe fruit, fig, cherry, strawberry, and raspberry. |
 |
Tasting Notes: A dry wine full of dark berries and candied fruit with balanced tannin and a long finish. |
 |
Serving Temperature: 61º - 65º F (16º - 18º C) |

Food Pairings: Frankovka modra pairs especially well with spiced dishes, leaner meats, tomato based sauces and strongly flavored cheeses. It is an able accompaniment to Slovakian kurací paprikáš, Catalan escalivada, and feta, pepper jack, and limburger. |
