## Summary

The experimental heart of the estate: a Langhe Rosso from Syrah grown at Montalupa in Bra, produced only in the best vintages.

## Tasting notes

Deep red colour with violet reflections. Spicy bouquet with broad and persistent notes of small fruits, wild mountain-meadow flowers and licorice. Rich and balanced palate with sweet tannins that give harmony, distinction and intensity. Remarkably classy, rich and typical, suitable for long ageing.

## Food pairings
