Vintage

Pure and focused, evoking cherry, blackberry, licorice and mineral notes. Elegant and structured with the flavors persisting through the balanced finish.

At the Table

Ideal with red and white meats rich in dressing. It pairs well with elaborate first courses. This wine is also great for aperitifs.

“Evolved and ripe style for this nebbiolo with notes of dried cherries, leather and strawberries. Light- to medium-bodied with an easy-drinking structure, it is chewy and tight. Ready to drink now.”

“A rich nose of ripe plums, dried raspberries, sweet spices and hints of cocoa. Yet it’s restrained and polished on the medium-bodied palate, with dusty tannins and a textural aftertaste. Drink now.”

“Fresh raspberries, turned earth and black tea aromas define the nose of this very pretty Nebbiolo. The striking palate pops with crunchy red-fruit flavors and mouthwatering acidity as classical Nebbiolo tannins strut their stuff, giving the wine a firmness that requires a bowl of pasta or roasted meat.”
