## Tasting notes

The young red for Piedmontese cooking, a region it seems to belong to by temperament. Its fervor has no frills or ornaments: it umpires the meal in the purest spirit of service, staying in the background as far as possible. In the end, though, it is remembered with gratitude, because it makes for an honest sense of well-being.
