## Summary

Vera is dedicated to Gianluca Morino's daughter Veronica, depicted on its pop-art label, and blends Barbera, Dolcetto and Merlot from newer, less densely planted vineyards designed to limit sugar and alcohol levels.

## Tasting notes

Vera is the union of three grape varieties and their traits: the high acidity of Barbera, the delicate tannin of Dolcetto and the exceptional softness of Merlot. The result is an explosion in the mouth, a wine to drink freely.
