Tasting Notes

The garnet colour typical of Nebbiolo. Expressive bouquet featuring ripe red berries, plums and blueberry, with violets and hints of spices and tobacco. Compact, full profile. Well-structured tannins are evident in the mouth, developing consistently with an enveloping flavour and a decisive acid vein. Liquorice and cinnamon are evident in the finish.

The vineyards are located in the municipalities of Treiso, Barbaresco and Neive, where they are exposed mainly south and southwest and are planted in marly, calcareous soils.
