Tasting Notes
In the glass, it typically shows a garnet-red hue with brick-toned reflections typical of mature Nebbiolo. The nose is layered and elegant, with aromas of dried rose petals, cherry, strawberry, licorice, tobacco, and subtle earthy spice. On the palate, it is firm and structured, with vibrant acidity, refined tannins, and flavors of red berries, tar, leather, and forest floor. The 2016 vintage suggests excellent balance and aging potential, and this wine should continue to develop complexity over the next several years.

Production

Food & Serving
