Region: Piedmont
Country: Italy
Grapes: Nebbiolo
Tasting profile (AI-generated)
Structure: medium-bodied, high tannin, high acidity, dry
A Nebbiolo from the Terre Alfieri zone in eastern Piedmont, this wine shows the grape's classic signature of dried cherry and rose underpinned by firm, grippy tannins and bright, food-friendly acidity. Earthy notes of tar and leather add structure and depth, while the Superiore designation suggests a touch more aging and concentration than a base-level release. It's a leaner, perhaps more delicate expression of Nebbiolo than Barolo or Barbaresco, but no less characterful.
Serving: Serve at 15–17 °C.
