Tasting Notes

Nose

Dried rose petals and violets rise above a bed of sour cherry, tar, and cedar, with hints of dried herbs and a truffle-like earthiness that deepens with air.

Palate

Ethereal yet powerful, with bright cherry and raspberry fruit framed by firm, fine-grained tannins, rose petal, and a savory tar note that grounds the elegance.

Finish

Remarkably long, with cherry, rose, and cedar persisting through waves of tannin that promise decades of development.

Cocktail Suggestion

Best enjoyed on its own or with food. For a special occasion, a Barolo Risotto pairs beautifully — the wine mirrors the earthy richness of the dish.

Food Pairing

Braised short ribs with porcini mushrooms and polenta.
