Teo Costa Lancaia

Barbaresco from a Treiso hill that the estate chose after five years of trials as the emblem of its Barbaresco.

Tasting notes

Ruby red with garnet reflections. Fruity, harmonious nose with rose and ripe fruit. Warm, dry, vigorous palate with an elegant, silky vanilla note and an aftertaste of cherry and redcurrant.
