The nose offers inviting aromas of red cherries, raspberries, and wild strawberries, intertwined with hints of rose petals, anise, and a touch of spice. On the palate, the wine is medium-bodied, with silky tannins and bright acidity, showcasing flavors of ripe red fruit, dried herbs, and a subtle earthiness. The finish is long and balanced, with Nebbiolo’s signature floral and mineral nuances coming through.

It offers an approachable yet complex Nebbiolo experience, making it a great introduction to the grape or an excellent everyday option for Nebbiolo lovers. The wine is also capable of aging for a few years, allowing it to develop additional depth and complexity over time.
