Profile:

Appearance: Brilliant ruby red with youthful clarity; hints of garnet at the rim suggest aging potential.

Nose: Red currant, cherry, and raspberry with floral notes of violet and rose, plus subtle spice and herbs.

Palate: Fresh red berries, refined acidity, silky tannins, and layers of spice, minerality, and light earthiness.

Finish: Long and elegant with lingering red fruit, floral notes, and savoury spice.

Food Pairing: Ideal with truffle dishes, wild game, braised meats, and mature cheeses. A classic partner to traditional Piedmontese cuisine.

What’s In It: 100% Nebbiolo

How It Was Made:

Harvest: Hand-harvested, typically in the second half of October to ensure optimal phenolic ripeness.

Fermentation: Fermented in stainless steel tanks with indigenous yeasts, with gentle punchdowns and pump-overs to extract color and tannins without over-extraction.

Maceration: Extended maceration (often 30–40 days) to develop complexity and structure.

Aging: Aged for 30 months in large Slavonian oak casks (botte) to preserve purity of fruit and terroir expression. Final refinement in bottle before release.
