The mouth has good correspondence to the nose, a slightly tannic attack and pleasing crispness, however balanced by alcohol, good body, intense flavors. The finish is persistent with flavors of black cherry, raspberry and plum. Colline Novaresi Vespolina Ricardo della Zoina ages for 12 months in barrique followed by 12 months of aging in bottle.
