A red wine with a great structure but elegant at the same time. Burgundy red colour, typical of the vine grape varietals of origin. Intense and spicy bouquet, hints of fruit in spirit with clear notes of coffee, cocoa, roasted hazelnut and dried grape. Warm, vigorous, with a full, austere, rounded and balanced flavour.
When young, it features a fragrance which is wonderfully spontaneous and full of surprise: in its bouquet, colour, and generous, velvety body this Langhe Nebbiolo brings out all the typical qualities of the magnificent vine it is made from. With the time its colour becomes garnet-red with strong orange hues, and its nose achieves more complexity, showing notes of withered flowers, such as roses and, above-all, geraniums. In the mouth it is warm, soft, full in flavour, velvety, well-balanced and lingering.
Red wine with a strong personality obtained only by the vinification of selected grapes the smallest, most rocky areas of the Valtellina Superiore territories. It is produced only in the best vintage years.
The intense, elegant aromas range fruity (apples) to floral (acacia) and more complex scents of a salty or mineral (flint) origin. A structured, mouth-filling flavour that is fresh and sapid. Lingering finish.
