Here you have an alpine Nebbiolo with medium body, moderate tannins and a fresh, juicy acidity that makes it wonderfully versatile at the table. The tannins and acidity play nicely against rich sausages and charcuterie from the mountains, where the fat softens the wine and the acidity cuts through the richness. The balsamic notes of blackcurrant and cherry find an echo in nutty, semi-firm cheeses and in lightly spiced red and white meat, while a little tangy mustard or pickled vegetables refresh the palate between bites. Stick to dishes of medium intensity, so the wine's elegance is not drowned out.

About the wine
Here is a Nebbiolo from the mountains. The grapes for this wine come from 30-year-old vines on a small 0.8 ha plot located at 350 meters altitude around Arnad e Issogne southeast of Aosta near the Dora Bâltea river. A fantastically beautiful place.
Harvested at the end of October/beginning of November. Fermentation for 20 days in stainless steel followed by 12 months in a large 25 hl oak barrel.
Blackcurrant, cherry, and balsamic notes on the nose, in the mouth a long delicious fresh juicy elegant experience.
Delicious with sausages and cheese from the mountains, as well as white and red meat.
Lovely elegance with 13% alcohol.
The first vintage was 2015.
