## Summary

A Nebbiolo Barolo macerated about 30 days and aged at least 12 months in wood. Floral and cherry on the nose, balanced between acidity and tannin.

## Tasting notes

Garnet red. Delicate floral aromas of rose and violet merging with cherry. Excellent balance of acidity and tannins gives an excellent body. Pleasant even when young, it gains complexity with age.

## Food pairings

Structured and complex dishes of red meat, game, braised meats and mature cheeses.
