## Summary

A single-vineyard Barbaresco from the Bricco di Neive MGA, named for the hilltop it sits on and made, the estate says, in an austere yet elegant style.

## Tasting notes

Intense ruby red with garnet reflections, a broad, intense and complex nose of blackberry, liquorice, violet, tobacco, spice and dried rose with clear Nebbiolo character, and a complex, powerfully structured yet elegant palate with silky tannins and a long finish.

## Food pairings

Game, roasts, aged cheeses and white truffle dishes, also enjoyed after dinner.
