Grape (Nebbiolo): Indigenous to Piedmont, Nebbiolo is thin-skinned yet tannic, with naturally high acidity and remarkable transparency to terroir. Typical notes include rose, violet, cherry, tar, licorice, and truffle. It ripens late, excelling on south/southwest slopes and calcareous marl. Structured wines benefit from decanting and long aging, developing leather, tobacco, and dried flowers over time.

a€š 

Appearance: Deep garnet red with a slight brick hue at the rim.

a€š 

Aroma: Intense aromas of red cherries, rose petals, and hints of truffle and tobacco.

a€š
