About this wine

Vineyard and terroir

The Nebbiolo comes from vineyards in the Langhe hills on the right bank of the Tanaro River, at an average elevation of 300 metres. Predominantly limestone-and-clay soils contribute structure, distinct tannins, aromatic breadth and elegance.

Grapes

100% Nebbiolo.

Ageing

At least six months in oak barrels followed by at least six months in bottle.

Tasting profile

Deep ruby red with garnet highlights. The complex bouquet offers blackberry, dried flowers, spice and cocoa. The palate is elegant, harmonious and medium-bodied, with soft tannins and a persistent finish.

Serving and pairing

Serve at 16–18°C. Pair with first courses, charcuterie, roasts, game, mushrooms, fresh cheeses or medium-aged cheeses.
