Tasting notes
Intense medium ruby color with matching highlights, evolving into a medium garnet with aging. The nose is characterized by elegant balsamic hints of thyme and sage, leaving a finish of vanilla, licorice and a note of cocoa. The palate is surprising, intense and round, with a very persistent finish.
Food pairings
It goes perfectly with traditional Piedmontese dishes, in particular stuffed pasta, meat-based second courses, stewed or braised meat, or aged cheeses. Serve at 14-16°C.
