Tasting Notes

100% Nebbiolo. This wine dazzles with its ruby red color and a hint of orange glow. The aroma is a delightful mix of flowers, fresh fruit, citrus, and a touch of spice. On the palate, it's smooth and balanced, with just the right amount of tannins. Perfect for pairing with classic Alto Monferrato dishes like mushroom risotto, ravioli with meat sauce, and game. It's a versatile and delicious choice for any meal.
