Where it comes from

It comes from the Cannubi hill, one of the most renowned Additional Geographic Mentions of the Langhe. The soils are of Tortonian and Helvetian origin, offering Nebbiolo ideal conditions to express finesse, depth and complexity.

How it is made

Vinification involves a long maceration of 30–35 days, followed by 36 months of aging in cask and a further 24 months in bottle. This process develops a complex aromatic profile and a structure capable of supporting great aging potential.

Tasting notes

The color is a bright red with garnet highlights. The nose is ample and layered, with ripe fruit such as blackberries and blueberries, spicy and balsamic notes, and hints of dried rose, tobacco and licorice. On the palate it is full and enveloping, with ripe tannins that are well integrated and a harmony that deepens after a few minutes of aeration.

Food pairings

Pairs with rich, slow-cooked dishes such as braised meats and stewed game. Its structure also supports succulent mains and aged cheeses.

When to serve it

This is a wine for special meals and occasions when you can take your time with the glass. It opens up after a few minutes of aeration in a wide-bowled glass. The long maturation gives it good aging potential, making it suitable for the cellar.
