## Summary

Nebbiolo d'Alba from Monforte d'Alba, kept in large oak for 12 months and then in steel, so the fruit stays clear.

## Tasting notes

Colour: ruby red with garnet reflections. Nose: intense red fruit and wild berries, plum and blackcurrant, floral notes of withered rose and violet, then spice of pepper and liquorice. Palate: elegant and medium-bodied, the alcohol balanced by acidity that gives freshness; with velvety tannins at the close the drink is persistent and satisfying.

## Food pairings

Perfect with fatty, savoury dishes, Piedmontese cheeses and cured meats. Suited to braised meat and boiled meats; ideal with succulent first courses and fried meat and vegetables.
