## Tasting notes

The fullest expression of Nebbiolo grown in the Langa. Pale ruby with an intense garnet rim. A wide, austere, multi-faceted nose: floral notes mixing with face powder and violet, red fruit and creamy oak. Soft, wide, satisfying entry and very persistent taste, with liquorice and violet over a dense, compact tannic weave that softens with age. Ageing potential of more than twenty years.
