Vegan Lentil Burger
Very easy! A valid alternative to the classic meat burger or certainly a tasty idea for those following a vegan or vegetarian diet. Pair with Syrah, ruby red in color. On the nose, very intense aroma, dominated by spicy aromas with hints of blackberry, ripe black cherries, leather, and fur. On the palate, it is soft, warm, with a great tannic structure.
