## Summary

The estate's varietal Nebbiolo, a Colline Novaresi DOC aged at least 20 months in steel and released two years after harvest.

## Tasting notes

Very intense and bright ruby red. Vivid notes of small red fruits, cherry and blood orange, alongside floral hints of violet, peony and rose, wrapped in a subtle, delicate spiciness. Full-bodied and enveloping on the palate with an excellent tannic structure that expresses its terroir, outstanding persistence and a savoury, fresh finish.

## Food pairings

Meat-based dishes and delicate first courses. Excellent with cured meats and aged cheeses.
