Tasting Notes
COLOR:
Brilliant garnet red with orange hues typical of well-aged Nebbiolo.
NOSE:
Intense and complex, the nose reveals aromas of dried cherries, plums, and red currants, along with floral notes of rose petals and violets. Earthy undertones, such as leather, tobacco, and truffle, enhance the bouquet, complemented by a touch of spice from oak aging—cinnamon, clove, and a hint of vanilla.
TASTE:
Full-bodied and structured, the palate offers rich flavors of ripe red fruits, such as cherry and raspberry, balanced by savory notes of herbs, leather, and forest floor. The tannins are firm but fine-grained, giving the wine excellent aging potential. The acidity is well-balanced, providing freshness and supporting the wine’s complex layers.
FINISH:
Long and persistent, with lingering notes of dried fruit, spice, and a hint of earthy minerality, showcasing the wine’s elegance and depth.
