Hand picked from low-yielding, high quality vines; the wine spends 12 months in French oak barriques before bottling. The nose reveals delicate aromas of red cherry and dried herbs intertwined with notes of vanilla and toasted spice. Vibrant on the palate, ripe red fruits and a pleasant earthiness are supported by well-balanced tannins and a richness from it’s time spent in oak. The wine is beautifully smooth with a long and lasting finish.

Pairs perfectly with traditional Piedmont recipes like Nebbiolo risotto, hearty pasta dishes or rich red meats.
