Agricola Sulin Tambass

Tambass revives Slarina, a nearly abandoned native red grape saved through a Piedmont Region biodiversity project; Sulin planted its first Slarina vineyard, about one hectare, in 2016 as part of its native grape research.

Tasting notes

Intense ruby red with violet reflections. Elegant bouquet with notes of red fruit and spices. Delicate, harmonic flavor with a persistent aftertaste, balanced alcohol and elegant tannins.

Pairs well with

Fatty, roasted or aromatic meats such as lamb; also first courses with a strong personality.
