By Generaj, Roero, Piemonte, Italy
The estate’s pure expression of nebbiolo, from the amphitheatre-shaped Isola vineyard that gives the wine its name. 13 to 13.5% ABV.
Tasting notes
Bright ruby colour. On the nose, a complex, fruity bouquet with notes of cherry and blackberry. On the palate, enveloping, warm, robust and lightly tannic.
Pairs well with
Rich first and second courses, roasts, braised meats, medium-aged cheeses.
