## Summary

Barbera-led blend with Pinot Nero from vineyards in Gabiano and Zoalengo, aged in the castle's underground cellars.

## Tasting notes

Colour: lively ruby red with violet reflections. Nose: intense, persistent and fine, with red fruits, redcurrant and final notes of fine woods. Palate: blackberry, freshness, savouriness, softness and slight aromas of fine woods; a blend that sets Barbera's typical traits against the fruity aromas of Pinot Noir.
