Colour
Bright ruby red with garnet reflections, showing good clarity and depth typical of young Nebbiolo.
Bouquet
Expressive and refined with layers of red fruit and floral notes. Aromas of wild strawberry, cherry, raspberry, and candied orange emerge first, followed by rose petals, violets, white pepper, and subtle hints of liquorice, tobacco, and sweet spice.
Flavour
Medium to full-bodied with impressive balance and purity. Vibrant red fruit flavours are supported by fresh acidity and fine-grained, ripe tannins. The texture is polished and elegant, with notes of cherry, strawberry, spice, and mineral undertones. Long, graceful, and persistent, showing refined tannins, fresh acidity, and a lingering mineral and floral character.
