"The charm and pleasantness of Barbaresco"

WINE

It comes from the estate vineyard within the geographical mention of Pajorè, a cru that is fully among the most renowned in the Langhe. The south-facing exposure and geomorphological conditions are absolutely favorable. The result is a persuasive expression that combines harmony and strength, with notes of medicinal herbs, wild strawberries, and cloves. A Barbaresco with a distinct personality, recognizable by its balsamic and spicy tones.

Serving temperature: 16°C.
