Product description

  • Colour: Intense ruby red.

  • Aroma: The bouquet offers notes characteristic of the Ovello cru, including an edge of pomegranate, a soft scent of prune, wild forest berries, and a note of mint and violets.

  • Palate: The flavour is elegant and dry, with good, fine-grained, and silky tannins balanced by fresh acidity. It has an intriguing hint of balsamic and shows concentrated red berry and floral notes.

  • Body and Finish: This is a full-bodied wine. The overall style is elegant, structured, and soft, with a silky texture and good length.

  • Varietal Composition: This wine is made from 100% Nebbiolo grapes.

  • Optimal Drinking Window: Proper cellaring at a steady temperature can allow this wine to keep its characteristics for 20-30 years. It is structured to ensure both early approachability and long aging potential.

Accolades 

  • Robert Parker - 90+ points.

  • Vinous - 93 points.

Food Pairing

  • Suggested Pairings: The wine pairs well with flavorful dishes like roast meats, red meats, aged cheeses, and game (such as venison or deer). Lamb is also a natural partner for this Barbaresco.

    This pairing highlights the wine's depth and character.
