## Summary

Nebbiolo from the estate's own Cornarea cru in Canale d'Alba, aged one year in large casks.

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.

Meats, roasts, game and cheeses.
