Langhe DOC Nebbiolo
From the most suited area for Nebbiolo wine growing, a wine with a slightly tart sensation, tempered by the fruity sweetness and subtle tannins.
Red wine with weak garnet red color.
The bouquet is initially winey then, when left to stand, it takes on the intense and persistent scent of flowers like roses and violets, and freshly picked fruit, blackcurrants, sour black cherries, raspberry, and strawberry, with a hint of cocoa.
There is a slightly tart sensation to the palate, tempered by the fruity sweetness and subtle tannins.
A wine that goes well with snacks and aperitifs with bread, salami and cheeses, or with a lunch where pasta is served, like tagliatelle, stuffed pasta, or spaghetti with meat sauce. Also ideal with simple meat dishes.
