Red
Maria Grazia

The Langhe Nebbiolo, labelled Maria Grazia, from estate vineyards next to the winery. Aged in large oak barrels.
Tasting notes
Garnet red with ruby highlights. Broad, fruity bouquet with raspberry and redcurrant. Dry and full, with great structure and minerality.
Pairs well with
Pleasant, elegant wine for meat-based starters, stuffed pasta and pan-cooked red and white meats. Medium-mature cheeses also suit.
