Tasting notes

Nebbiolo grapes 100%.

Brilliant, ruby red background, pleasant to look at.

Freshness that also marks the aromas, red and black fruit: cherry, blackberry and red currant, cinnamon and violet.

Agile, silky and elegant mouth, it stretches over delicate spiciness leaving the palate satisfied.

Red and white meats, but also elaborate first courses. Rack of lamb with potatoes, hare or rabbit with mushrooms.
