TASTING NOTES
Highly concentrated, deep red in colour with garnet highlights. The nose releases a, wonderful aroma of roses. It is a very well-balanced, rounded wine, with soft, non-aggressive, elegant tannins. High in alcohol with a densely-woven structure but without excessive oak on the palate. The wine expresses the typical characteristics of Nebbiolo and its terroir.
