Red
Il Nor
By Vini Romana, Dogliani, Piemonte, Italy
The estate's most representative wine, made from a strict selection of its best grapes. The name is Piedmontese dialect for "honour".
Tasting notes
Intense ruby red with violet reflexes; firm yet delicate nose with black cherry; strong impact on the palate with a pleasant bitter finish. Pronounced tannins and robust structure suit ageing.
Pairs well with
Main courses and game; red meat.
