2023 · Current vintageDOC

Compared to other prestigious terroirs where Nebbiolo grows, the Monferrato DOC Nebbiolo has a deeper colour, well-structured body, and a fine and persistent bouquet filled with notes of rose, violet, slightly spicy in cloves. The palate is elegant with graceful tannins.

At the Table

Ideal with red and white meats rich in dressing. It pairs well with elaborate first courses. Recommended as well as a by-the-glass wine.

“Dark fruits and chalky minerals flowing together like ink on textured paper, creating something delicate and intriguing. The palate keeps that artistic mood, focusing on pretty details and brooding edges while staying light on its feet.”

“Aromas of macerated cherries stepping with clove, cinnamon and rosebud waft from the glass of this perfumed red. Ripe on the palate with a satin softness that pops with a mouthwatering acidity on the earthy finish.”

“This Nebbiolo from Monferrato offers scents of church candles and dried rose petals with smoky frankincense and ripe cherry flesh. The palate is amply structured but still delivers big, juicy fruits. Think strawberries, black cherry, spiced clove, and roasted cinnamon notes finish with tart Montmorency cherry and dried exotic spices.”
