## Summary

Barolo from the estate's largest holding, 7 ha of Nebbiolo in Bricco San Pietro, aged 36 months in French oak barriques.

## Tasting notes

Vibrant garnet. Black and red fruit on the nose, sweet touches of morello and cherry, tauter ones of blackberry and blueberry, and a floral memory of violet. Fresh, dry palate with a dense, precise tannin. Composed and unpretentious, a serious drink.

## Food pairings

A fillet cooked just right is a sure bet. Poultry such as thrush or partridge, small game, or sliced duck breast.
