Alluring aromas of sweet raspberries, blueberries, vanilla, dried roses, dried cranberries, turkish delight and rose petals. Underneath this delicacy there’s an attractive roughness of clove, char and toast. Grainy, dusty tannins produce a nice textural mouthfeel. The fruit is sweet, but it's perhaps a little drying and short on the finish. The Nebbiolo fruit comes from a combination of communes: La Morra, Verduno and Serralunga d’Alba.
