Red
Pierin
By Poderi Vaiot, Roero, Piemonte, Italy
The estate's Roero Riserva, 100% Nebbiolo from vines at the Santuario dei Piloni, aged 24 months in oak.
Tasting notes
Ruby red with orange hues that show with age. Delicate, ethereal, full nose of violets and spices. Warm, full and dry, austere thanks to sweet, solid tannins.
Pairs well with
Roast, grilled and stewed meat and game, ripe hard cheeses; the producer suggests a Roero risotto finished with Roccaverano goat's cheese
