Made from Nebbiolo grapes that macerate for 15 days and age for around a year in oak barrels. The wine has a medium, ruby-garnet color and a bouquet with nicely expressed scents of red rose and blueberry. The mouthfeel is not that rich with tannins that are a tad green but not biting while the finish plays on the acidity. In recent years, this wine appears to have obtained spontaneity and vitality, perhaps due to changes in extractions and wood. I would drink it now or certainly over the next 5-10 years.
