Technical notes

The wine is garnet, typical color of Nebbiolo grape. In the nose we can find scents of cherry, plum, raspberry and violet, which are the distinctive aromas of Nebbiolo. Gradually we can also perceive strawberry, blackberry, blueberry, tobacco, licorice and vanilla. Finally we can detect cacao, cinnamon and peppercorn aromas. The mouth is characterized by a medium astringency of the tannins and by a pleasant freshness, well balanced thanks to the alcohol and softness. In its entirety, the wine presents a perfect balance and structure

Culinary combinations

The best food to pair with Roero are very complex meat based courses and truffle based dishes. This wine also highlights the taste of aged cheese
