CHARACTERISTICS
 An extremely pleasing and drinkable wine, and although it has a high alcohol grade this never overpowers its fruity character.  Its red colour has Bordeaux reflections and the slow trickle from the edge of the glass confirms its optimal concentration and good body. The palate is caressed by a smooth tannin content typical of the Nebbiolo grape and by a warm and enveloping flavour.
SERVING TEMPERATURE 
16°C PAIRINGS ham and salami, vitello tonnato, tajarin and ravioli, white meats.
