The local soils and microclimate favour the development of a dry and defined flavour profile, offering floral notes that faithfully reflect the vocation of the area.

This care in the cellar results in a glass of great balance, ideal for pairing precisely with red meats, game and mature cheeses. Decanting before serving further enhances the fruity nuances of this Piedmontese red.
