PIEDMONT, ITALY

A note from the importer: Hand harvested grapes are where the first selections are made and are then carried to the winery in 20Kg bins to insure they arrive fully intact. First produced in 1999 from the cru vineyard at and elevation of 350 meters, it is all stainless steel fermented and then aged in 90% Slavonian oak large ovals (15Hl) for 24 months along with 10% French oak Tonneau.

Tasting Notes: Ripe red cherries and berries on the nose with hints of mushrooms and salt licorice. Medium-to full bodied with a very fine, lightly firm tannin framework.

Food Pairings: Grilled veal atop spaghetti, filet mignon, or beef tartare.
