## Summary

An aromatized wine based on Barolo that has finished three years of ageing, infused with about 30 herbs and spices.

## Tasting notes

Bright, lively cherry ruby. On the palate 'sweet yet not sweet', with a marked spiced aromatic character recalling rhubarb, china bark, cinnamon and spice, and a fine wine-like expression. Notes of plum in spirit and cherry, well balanced, pleasant, with calibrated sweetness that never goes too far.

## Food pairings

A fine digestivo, good with chocolate desserts and dry pastries; can also be served over ice as an aperitif.
