Red
Conca d'Oro
By Azienda Giribaldi, Langhe, Piemonte, Italy
Organic Nebbiolo d'Alba from the Conca d'Oro vineyard in Montelupo Albese, matured in barriques and tonneaux.
Tasting notes
Intense ruby red with orange reflections. Consistent, clean vinous nose of notable breadth: rose, raspberry, vanilla and balsamic notes. Dry, full, harmonious and round on the palate, with young tannins, fruit in syrup, cinnamon and red fruit jam; very balanced and long.
Pairs well with
Red meats, bagna cauda, game, braises and very well aged cheeses.
