• French oak
• Plush fruit
• Dried herbs
• Sandy tannins

Fragrant, lifted fruits of the forest overlaid by notes of dried herbs, some leather and aniseed. This is a medium weight wine, very well balanced with plush fruit character, sandy tannins and a lovely fresh clip of acidity delivering excellent Italian drinkability.

Piedmont, in the foothills of the Alps in the north west of Italy, is home to the country’s finest full-bodied red wines. The greatest wines are made from the extremely long lived Nebbiolo. Barbera however is the most widely planted and popular variety, due to its fruit-driven expressiveness and youthful approachability.

2020 vintage in Piedmont has been considered an excellent vintage for reds and whites. The reds are bright fruited with beautifully perfumed aromatics and excellent tannins and acid balance.

Vinified separately with each parcel naturally fermented in stainless steel. The Nebbiolo is immediately separated from skins whilst the Barbera receives a further week maceration. The fruit is matured independently in a mix of small French oak casks and large Slavonion oak for eight months before blending and a further four months ageing in large oak casks.

Food Pairing: This is a very approachable wine that will match brilliantly with food as well being great on its own. The perfect pasta or pizza wine.
