## Summary

The estate's most traditional-style Barbaresco, grown on the vineyards surrounding the winery and aged, as in the past, exclusively in large casks.

## Tasting notes

Garnet red colour. Intense nose of powerful fruit, dried flowers and underbrush. Dry, smooth and rounded on the palate, with a warm finish and nicely balanced tannins.

## Food pairings

Roast and terrine meats, mature cheeses and fondues, meat and vegetable soups.
