Red
Nebbiolo d'Alba
By Cornarea, Roero, Piemonte, Italy
Nebbiolo from the estate's own Cornarea cru in Canale d'Alba, aged one year in large casks.
Tasting notes
Ruby red with garnet reflections. Fragrant, fruity nose with cherry and violet, a spicy vein over liquorice and cinnamon. Warm on the palate with an important savoury, acid push that stays balanced, the right amount of tannin and a finish of berry jam.
Pairs well with
Meats, roasts, game and cheeses.
