## Summary

A blend of part of the Barbera from the Vignassa vineyard with Merlot and Cabernet Sauvignon, first made in 1998. One of the estate's classic wines.

## Tasting notes

Vivid, brilliant garnet red. Very complex, intense and enveloping, spiced nose: ripe raspberry, blackberry, plum, cinnamon and black pepper. Warm and tannic on the palate, balanced, sumptuous and very elegant, with good balance between acidity, tannin and alcohol.

## Food pairings

Elaborate meat dishes, roasts and game, strong aged cheeses. Also a wine for contemplation. Piedmontese pairings: potato gnocchi with fassona beef ragu, hare in 'sivè', Toma della Val Maira.
