Tasting notes
Colour: garnet. Nose: complex, floral and herbal bouquet turning to fruit with notes of sour cherry, raspberry, blackberry and redcurrant. Palate: austere, very elegant, fine and powerful, velvety tannins. A selection of the oldest Nebbiolo vines of the Rocche cru; deep and layered, it benefits from time in bottle, with a plush texture when young and, aged, luminosity, freshness and floral qualities.
