## Summary

A 100% Barbera Nizza DOCG, long-macerated and aged 12 to 24 months in barriques, 14.5% vol.

## Tasting notes

Made from grapes of the most suited vineyards, with the best hillside exposures and low yields per hectare. Great body and notable structure, a very intense garnet red with orange reflections. The nose is rich and complex with berry fruit that becomes delicate with ageing, blending with vanilla notes from the wood.

## Food pairings

Savoury dishes such as game roasts, and cheeses with strong flavours.
