Tasting note

Aromas of strawberries and cherries with earth and sweet-spice undertones. It’s medium-to full-bodied with chewy tannins and bright acidity. Serious and focused with juicy character on the mid-palate. Flavorful finish with excellent length.

Wine-food combination

The wine combines beautifully with earthy flavors such as truffles and porcini mushrooms . Such as a risotto or a nice stew. Also with a ravioli with pumpkin and sage or a Brasato.

Vinification

Approximate 40 days in cement cisterns. First 8 days with frequent racking for strong extraction. During the remaining days the wine rests gently for optimal extraction of noble tannins wich is important for a good development and ageing. Malolactic fermentation and maturation in 30 hl Slavonian wood barrels providing for structure, elegance and characteristics Nebbiolo austerity. Aging: 30 months in bottles
