Where it comes from

This red wine finds its roots in the Langhe hills, a territory with a strong winemaking vocation and a deep agricultural identity. The Langhe denomination identifies a landscape where vines are the absolute protagonists. Exclusive use of local grapes allows for the preservation of the area’s identity and ensures a stylistic approach focused on aromatic definition and expressive freshness typical of these areas.

How it is made

Vinification begins with a quick maceration on the skins for about eight to ten days, ideal for extracting color and essential components without making the wine heavy to drink. Afterwards, the wine continues its development through aging in steel tanks, a technique aimed at preserving the varietal fragrance intact. The process concludes with a short period in barrique, a fundamental step to soften the structure and integrate the various aspects of the aromatic profile.

Tasting notes

In the glass, it shows an intense red color enriched by bright violet hues. On the nose, it releases a fragrant and delicate bouquet dominated by violet notes and clear fruity scents. On the palate, it is round and harmonious, featured by polished tannins that glide effortlessly without any roughness. The finish is persistent and balanced, with a pleasant return of crunchy fruit that prolongs the sensory experience.

Food pairings

At the table, it naturally complements a platter of aged cured meats, where the wine’s smoothness balances the savoriness and fat of the food. The pairing also works well with medium-aged cheeses, thanks to the tannic texture that supports the rich and enveloping flavors of milk. Its overall harmony and fruity notes ensure a clean and continuous taste profile throughout the meal, enhancing every single bite.

When to serve it

Its lively nature makes it perfect for informal gatherings, where a label easy to share but technically precise is desired. It stands out for its pronounced expressive freshness during a casual lunch or a relaxed dinner with friends. The well-balanced profile between the floral component and smooth taste confirms it as a versatile and reliable choice, capable of elegantly accompanying the entire meal.
