Nebbiolo
Red Wine	Score: ✧✧✧✭

The wine shows a brilliant ruby red color and nuances of brick red, moderate transparency. The nose denotes intense, clean, pleasing and refined aromas that start with hints of black cherry, plum and strawberry followed by aromas of violet, vanilla, tobacco, cocoa and tar. The mouth has good correspondence to the nose, a tannic attack and pleasing crispness, however balanced by alcohol, good body, intense flavors. The finish is persistent with flavors of black cherry, strawberry and plum. This wine ages for 24 months in barrique followed by 5 months in steel tanks and at least 12 months in bottle.
