Langhe Nebbiolo from La Morra, 100% Nebbiolo (Michet) planted in 1985, aged in 500 L French oak.
Tasting notes
Ruby red with light purple shades. Delicate, fine but very intense nose, from macerated rose to cherry pit, with underbrush and red fruit. Full, with good tannin and acidity, soft persistence where fruit and vanilla blend with sweet spice and a musky finish; very drinkable. A wine on the rise with long ageing potential.
