Review

From a beautifully staged vineyard in the Novello commune, this immediately shows a deep complexity, a promise of great riches. Dark rose, anise with compatible sweeter spices offer a decadent start, followed by waves of confident crimson to dark fruit, juice of royal proportions and ongoing vitality that receive great support from fine, dusty tannins and gracefully balanced acidity. Promise fulfilled – to drink now and for many years to come.

Food Pairing

Nebbiolo pairs well with rich, hearty dishes like roasted red meats, truffle-based dishes, or aged cheeses.

Tasting Profile
palate

Juicy red fruits that heart shaped Ravera profile, the fruit start broader across the palate and tapering away. Supple refined tannins, long juicy acid with a pleasing tang. Again grape first, tight-knit and pure. The most overtly acid of the Crus, it has loads more to come as the acid resolves with time and secondary development sees this relax and build generosity and complexity.
