Sensory Description:
In the glass, this Langhe Rosso boasts a vivid red color with violet hues, hinting at its youthful vibrancy. The nose is an elegant medley of ripe red fruits, plum, and underbrush, gradually giving way to floral nuances, dried hay, tobacco, and a delicate hint of spice. On the palate, the wine is fresh and lively, with bright summer berries, a mineral edge of graphite, and layered complexity. Subtle notes of black pepper, almonds, and Asian spices add intrigue, leading to a refreshing and satisfying finish.
