Red
Superiore Mugiot
By Piazzo Comm. Armando, Alba, Piemonte, Italy
One of Piazzo's first single-vineyard wines, made since the late 1970s from the Mugiot plot, named after the nickname given to Armando Piazzo's grandfather and later to Armando himself.
Tasting notes
Colour: ruby red with garnet nuances. Nose: complex, with predominant fruity and spicy notes of jam, blackberry, green pepper and vanilla, with toasted notes and wilted rose on the finish. Taste: warm, enveloping and smooth, with lingering aromatic persistence.
Pairs well with
Aged cheeses, charcuterie and cheese board, first courses; also good with spicy fusion cuisine, poke, pizza, sushi and roast chicken
