Producer’s notes
The estate describes a very intense ruby red with garnet reflections; a fresh nose of mature fruit, spice, tobacco, darker fruit and liquorice; and a warm, elegant palate with minty and spicy notes. The vineyard in Serralunga d’Alba faces south, on sandstone, limestone and chalk; 4,000 to 5,000 bottles are made.
