Product: This is a typical everyday red wine, with a vivid expression of the Langhe territory. It shows great presence and generosity of fruit aromas and flavours – blackberry and hints of violet, cocoa, black pepper and even earthy undertones.
Red cherry, floral, very pretty, almonds. Light-bodied, quite spicy, lively acidity, all the red fruits, a light dusting of tannin with a gentle sappiness on a crisp finish of good length. Kind of like a Pinot Noir, is how it struck me. Delightful wine. 93pts. Gary Walsh
