## Summary

The estate's blended Barbaresco, 100% Nebbiolo from vineyards in Sori Montestefano, Patricone and Bibinet, aged 14 to 18 months in wood.

## Tasting notes

Delicate and elegant, brilliant garnet in colour, it reaches its finest balance after some years of ageing in wood and then bottle. Tannic structure and austerity, but also silkiness and complexity. Aromas of violet, liquorice, rosehip, sweet tobacco, chocolate, vanilla, pepper and nutmeg. Firm, compact, persistent and elegant on the palate.

## Food pairings

Roast red meats and aged cheeses; it shines with traditional Langhe cooking and rich, refined dishes.
