Tasting notes

Nebbiolo grapes 100%.

Compact color of a deep garnet.

A noble nose of blackberry, cherry and cinnamon, small fruit in maceration and spices.

Beautiful, lively, large and elegant mouth. Majestic and pounding tannins, defined freshness, superb depth. Well-dosed wood that leaves elegance and finesse.

Important second courses to match its strength. Duck or pigeon, fassone or chianina beef, with non invasive sauces.

Service temperature: 18 °C
