Aromas of red cherry and withered rose intertwine with earthy notes, a light hint of tobacco and sweet spices that define the typical character of Nebbiolo. The palate is dry and vertical, supported by good acidity and well-defined tannins that build a solid structure without being aggressive; freshness drives the sip, while the persistence leaves savory traces and subtle memories of evolved red fruit. It is a Barolo that favors elegance and restraint over opulence. Best appreciated after generous aeration: opening in advance or decanting allows the aromatic profile to unfold with greater finesse.

Excellent with braises, flavorful roasts, grilled meats and aged cheeses; it also sits comfortably alongside dishes with mushrooms or truffle, echoing the earthy notes. Serve at around 16–18 °C in a large glass; it retains good ageing potential if kept in a cool, dry cellar.
