A single-cru Barbaresco from four small parcels within the Tre Stelle vineyard, macerated on the skins for 30 to 35 days and aged about 20 to 22 months in large Slavonian and Swiss oak barrels.

## Tasting notes

Garnet red in colour, with elegant notes of rose and violet, red berries, a vein of fresh minerality, and snappy, silky tannins. Long, persistent finish.

## Food pairings

Goes well with game and blue cheeses, but is also a perfect companion at any table when young.
