## Summary

A Barbaresco DOCG from the Ausario hill in Treiso, from Nebbiolo Lampia vines planted in 1970.

## Tasting notes

Ruby red with very intense garnet reflections. Fine, elegant and complex nose of ripe red fruit recalling blueberry and redcurrant. Enveloping tannins give a soft, warm palate with a delicate balance.

## Food pairings

Red meat and game, even young. After about five years, a wine for the end of a meal or for contemplation.
