Red
Moncucco-Cavino
By Vinory, Nizza, Piemonte, Italy
Single-vineyard Nizza from the Moncucco-Cavino cru in Mombercelli, aged about 18 months in steel, tonneaux and barriques.
Tasting notes
Intense ruby red with clear purple reflections. Intense, powerful and rich, with dark ripe plum and cherry; tobacco, vanilla, chocolate and spice as secondary aromas. A concentrated, full-bodied Barbera with medium to high acidity and rounded tannins, savoury and well balanced. Can be enjoyed now and should develop well over the next 10-15 years.
