## Summary

A young, lightly sparkling red bottled by tradition under the new moon of March, named after meje (wheat in Piedmontese dialect) and the refreshment farmhands took after the wheat harvest.

## Tasting notes

Fruity on the nose, led by cherry and blackberry, fresh and easy-drinking thanks to its gentle sparkle.

## Food pairings

Ideal for a merenda sinoira (Piedmontese afternoon snack), with bread and salami, savoury green tart and formaggetta cheese.
