## Summary

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.

## Food pairings

Roast, grilled and stewed meat and game, ripe hard cheeses; the producer suggests a Roero risotto finished with Roccaverano goat's cheese
