Method & Production
Tasting notes
Bright ruby red. Bouquet of cinnamon and sweet spicy notes, which evolves into red berry fruits such as strawberry, and raspberry, finishing with a slight scent of leather. Very smooth on the palate, Nebbiolo soft dry tannins which evolve with age. Warm and fragrant with a hint of sapidity at the end. Good persistence.
