Color: Dark, brick-red, with garnet nuances.
Nose: Complex aromas of dried cherries and fruit, leather, rose, and violet, with earthy undertones like anise, truffle, and licorice.
Palate: The palate is known for its elegant structure, with measured, smooth tannins and persistent, lively acidity. The flavor echoes the nose, with notes of dried fruit, oak, and flowers.
Food pairings: Classic Nebbiolo pairings include rich, roasted, or stewed red meats, game, and medium-mature cheeses. The wine's earthy and savory notes also pair exceptionally well with truffles.
Serving instructions: Given its age, a bottle from the 1988 vintage will likely have sediment and should be handled with care. A slow and steady pour or decanting for about 30 minutes can soften the texture and allow the wine to fully express its aromas.
