The grapes used to make this wine grow in vineyards situated on hills with a good slope, composed of clay and limestone soils, alternated with firm layers of sandstone and covered by quartz sands and very fine silt. This creates a structured wine, rich in trace elements, that has a vigorous but balanced character and can fully express its bouquet. The wine is partly aged in the original barrel of the Marquess of Barolo, which is 160 years old. Food pairing: with traditional egg pastas from the Langhe (tajarin), meat-stuffed ravioli, red meats, boiled meats, braised meats and game. It is ideal for sheep and goat toma cheeses and hard ripened cheeses. Serving temperature: 18° C. Taste: Full and elegant, with soft and enveloping tannins. Pleasant spicy and woody notes that merge perfectly together. Appearance: Deep garnet red with ruby nuance Aroma: Intense and persistent with clear scents of spices, cinnamon, absinthe, tobacco and dog rose. Grape variety: Nebbiolo.
