## Summary

Barolo from Bricco Voghera and the lower Cerrati, with a fresh, youthful acidity, aged 24 months in 25 hl oak barrels.

Classic bouquet of withered rose, undergrowth, prune, liquorice and spices. Bright ruby red with an orange rim. Fresh, with a tart component and tannins that give good structure. Elegant aromas of balanced intensity; sweet fruit with more evolved notes of tobacco and dried herbs.

## Food pairings

Full-bodied, suited to red meats and feathered game, particularly braised.
