Pale brick in colour, this gloriously engaging red shows sweet berry, leather, orange peel, smoked game and truffle characters on the nose, leading to a powerful yet graceful palate that is impressively complex and persistent. The wine is splendidly structured by fine texture and firm tannins, needing rich meat dishes to show its true magnificence. Classic, traditional and formidable. A blend of 90 nebbiolo and 10% vespolina. At its best: now to 2021.
