## Tasting notes

Our highest interpretation of the Roero: an exemplary Nebbiolo born from patience and care. Profound and complex, it emerges from patient waiting, sensitive agriculture and the careful interpretation of a single centenary vineyard. A deep, complex, terroir-driven wine with the potential to evolve over time.
