Descrizione

A Nebbiolo d'Alba of good finesse showing aromas of small red fruits, rose petal and light earthy and spicy notes, without excess. On the palate it is fresh and vibrant, supported by a tannic structure that is present but elegant and by a lively acidity that keeps the wine poised; the body is medium, the finish clean and of good persistence. A subtle sapidity contributes to the overall harmony and invites another sip.

It suits both everyday service and more refined occasions: open it some time before serving to let it express itself, or decant if you seek greater softness. It pairs with dishes of not overly fatty red meat, braised dishes, mushrooms and savory risottos, as well as aged cheeses; it also stands up well to preparations with truffle and delicate game. Recommended serving temperature around 16–18 °C; young it is already pleasant, but with a few years in the cellar it can gain further complexity without losing freshness.
