AROMA AND FLAVOUR                                                                                             
Ruby red in colour with violet veins. The nose stands out for the complexity of its fruity, spicy tones. Notes of soil and undergrowth emerge on the finish. The palate fuses the acidity of the barbera, the dynamic smoothness of the dolcetto and the tannic muscle of the nebbiolo harmoniously. The finish is tangy and dry.


AT THE TABLE                                                                                                                       
Its acidity and structure make this unusual blend a perfect accompaniment for a great variety of dishes. Best served with cured meats, raw beef and soft cheeses. Also excellent with soup, pasta and rice.
