## Summary

An old-style Nebbiolo known in the cellars of the House of Savoy from the 1600s, kept elegant and easy to drink with soft tannins and small red fruit.

## Tasting notes

Light ruby red. Fine, delicate, lasting aroma recalling wild strawberry and raspberry. Pleasantly bitterish, velvety, light and full at once.

## Food pairings

Spit-roasted and grilled red meats, game, fondue with truffles, agnolotti, white and red meat dishes with spiced sauces.
