## Summary

Riserva from the small Monvigliero parcel in Verduno; the estate skips the Riserva in years when the grapes fall short.

## Tasting notes

Incredibly refined. Sweet notes of cherries, herbs, liquorice and violets leading to roses and wilted flowers. Perfectly proportioned, with freshness, the right tannins and a long finish.
