## Summary

Barbaresco from the Basarin hill in Neive, where the family's Nebbiolo vines benefit from a particular exposure that the producer says gives the wine its maturity and structure.

## Tasting notes

Ruby red turning garnet red with age. Intense yet delicate bouquet reminiscent of violets, fruit and currant jelly. Dry, smooth, full-bodied and delicately velvety on the palate.

## Food pairings

Ideal with roast meats and feathered game.
