At first glance, the color is a deep garnet red, a testament to its maturation in oak barrels.

On the palate, the structure is imposing and velvety, with well-integrated tannins that provide notable elegance to the sip. The lively acidity balances the wine's richness, creating a perfect equilibrium.
This Barbaresco pairs magnificently with roasted red meat dishes, braises, or game dishes; it is also ideal with aged cheeses. With time in the bottle, it enriches its complexity, making it perfect for those who enjoy discovering the evolution of great wines. A sensory experience that invites you to slow down, savor, and immerse yourself in the winemaking tradition of Piedmont.
