From: Corsini, Monforte d'Alba, ItalyVarietal: Dolcetto, Nebbiolo, BarberaTaste: The resulting wine exhibits a deep ruby red color with violet hues. The bouquet is rich and complex, dominated by black cherry, blackberry, and currant aromas, complemented by subtle notes of earth, tobacco, and leather.

Tomato-based pastas, like a classic tagliatelle al ragù work well with the wine’s structure and acidity.

The wine’s freshness also makes it an excellent match for earthy mushroom risottos or roasted vegetable dishes, particularly those featuring eggplant or bell pep
