Albugnano
By Cantine Balbiano, Monferrato, Piemonte, Italy
A modern take on Albugnano DOC that showcases Nebbiolo in a fresh, approachable style, well structured and able to age up to five years.
Tasting notes
Bright ruby red colour, with an expressive bouquet of red berries, rose petals and violets, complemented by delicate spicy nuances. Fresh and well balanced on the palate, with fine, integrated tannins and a long, elegant finish.
Pairs well with
Egg pasta including filled pasta, roasted white and red meats, game ragù, and aged or blue cheeses.
