ASTI, PIEDMONT, ITALY
 
Massive and deep wine, thanks to the concentration and balance of the fruit from the old vineyard, but also thanks to a very important aging in the cellar. Broad and complex nose of dark fruit and spices, in the mouth we would expect a wine all muscle and concentration, instead we are surprised by a sip of great vitality, dense yes but also juicy and overflowing with flavors, important acidity that elevates the structure for a pleasant and mouthwatering drink.
