The classic firm nebbiolo tannins are here, and are superbly balanced by ripe red fruit. Violets and toast on the nose lead on to a soft, round palate of dried cherries with a smoky undercurrent, finishing on a savoury note.

Definitely a food wine -- match it with a wild mushroom risotto. Alc./Vol. 13.7%.
