Notes | |||
"In the Dogliani area this traditional wine reaches its maximal tipicity: of a ruby red color, which tends toward violet with a rich fruity bouquet, full bodied with an intense aroma of undergrowth and a pleasantly tannic taste, with a slight final almond note, typical of this wine. Eight months of maturation in steel tanks and two months in glass complete the refinement. Of a dry and moderately acidic taste, after a year of ageing, it has a good body and full taste." —winemaker |
Critical Acclaim | |||
"A ripe and fruity red, featuring black cherry, blackberry, violet and earth notes. Velvety in texture, with terrific harmony and a lingering aftertaste of dark fruit and spice. Drink now through 2025. 10,000 cases made, 3,000 cases imported." —Wine Spectator |
