Winemaker Notes
Ruby red in color with purple highlights, grapey in aroma with floral (roses) and spicy notes from the aging in oak, full and balanced in flavor. A very versatile wine, its roundness and suppleness make it an excellent match with a full range of dishes as, for example, the traditional fried meats and vegetables and the pot-au-feu of Piedmont.

James Suckling
I like the floral aromas that complement the ripe-fruit and mineral character here. Medium-bodied, vivid and delicious. Linear backbone from the acidity. Always a beautiful single-vineyard wine.

Wine Spectator
A high-pitched red, featuring firm tannins that frame the black currant and bilberry fruit. Fragrant, racy in structure and elegant, with a long finish. Drink now through 2019.
