About this wine

Vineyard and terroir

The grapes come from vineyards situated in several municipalities across the Langhe. The soils are medium-textured and tend towards a calcareous composition.

Grapes

Nebbiolo. The wine is conceived as an immediate, approachable and rounded expression of the variety, retaining balance and varietal character.

Vinification

Classic vinification employs fermentation and maceration of medium duration, lasting approximately 15 days in total. Care throughout the production cycle is directed towards preserving elegance and softness in a young Nebbiolo.

Ageing

The wine matures for more than one year in large oak casks.

Tasting profile

The colour is garnet red, with intensity varying according to the vintage. The nose is delicate and inviting, led by raspberry and violet; refined secondary aromas become more prominent with age. The palate is elegant, complete and harmoniously balanced.

Serving and pairing

Decanting is recommended, with service at 18–20°C. This is a versatile wine for the whole meal and is particularly suited to rich, savoury dishes. Pair it with fresh pasta dressed with substantial meat or vegetable sauces, grilled or roasted red meats, soft cheeses or delicately flavoured blue cheeses.
