Description: A garnet red with slight orange reflections, it reveals at the nose an intense, fascinating bouquet with
notes of spices, ripe fruit and aromas of wax with olive tones. The taste is rich and lasting, with
delicate tannins, licorice and pepper, matched to pleasant notes of withered violet and ripe plums.

braised beef in Barolo, zampone and cotechino, polenta based dishes like savory polenta e osei;
fontina based dishes like fonduta. Also, ideal with game, red meat, elaborate main courses and mature
