Intense, intriguing, harmonious
It is evident that this wine is a blend of nebbiolo from Spinetta’s 3 Barbaresco vineyards in Neive . The nose is broad and penetrating, with hints of fresh fruits, violets, and roses. Meanwhile, in the mouth it begins with a soft entrance, followed by gentle but persistent tannins.
