## Summary

A 100% Pinot Nero Millesimato Pas Dosè from the Alta Langa DOCG, 36 months on the lees; 12.5% alcohol.

## Tasting notes

Mousse ivory-coloured, clean and evanescent, with no crown. Perlage of numerous chains, fast rise, fine grain, persistent. Brilliant golden yellow. Intense and complex nose: at once chamomile, vanilla pod and marked exotic fruit (mango and papaya) but also apricot, then spicy notes of saffron and pastry, recalling a shortcrust tart filled with lemon-flavoured custard, with hints of citrus (citron peel and lime). The retro-olfaction shows citrus sensations and freshly shelled hazelnut, tending also to caramel. Palate: full, enveloping and creamy; freshness and savouriness lengthen the sip.

## Food pairings

Ideal as an aperitif; goes very well with fried courgette flowers, rabbit tonnato, seared octopus on potato foam and lime, tuna milanese and shellfish ravioli.
