About Monte Carlo Rubis
VINIFICATION
The grapes are hand-harvested during the cool early morning hours to preserve their fruitiness and ensure a well-balanced wine. The traditional vinification process takes place in stainless steel vats, where a carefully controlled maceration extracts the perfect balance of colour, fruit, and fine tannins. This meticulous method enhances the wine’s freshness and aromatic complexity, making it a standout red of the region.
FOOD PAIRING
Monte Carlo Rubis pairs beautifully with a variety of dishes:
• Grilled or roasted meats, such as lamb, duck breast, or roasted poultry.
• Pigeon or pork tenderloin with figs
• Provençal stuffed vegetables or a classic tian of vegetables.
• A selection of well-aged cheeses, such as sheep’s milk tomme or cantal entre-deux.
