Nose: The bouquet is elegant and refined, with aromas of fig, plum, cassis, sweet spices, leather, and a light note of licorice. Palate: Medium bodied with high-toned red forest berries and wild herbs with crushed rocks and pine needles on a structured, but easy going frame. Pairing: medium-aged cheeses, fatty fish, cured meats, or red pasta sauce. Varietals: 80% Nebbiolo & 20% Vespolina Organically farmed Centovigne Nebbiolo and Erbaluce vineyards, owned by Magda and Alessandro Ciccioni. Raised on the grounds outside their 18th-century castle, Castello di Castellengo, Magda (who is both the mind and hands behind the delicate yet flavorful wines) matures their organically farmed wines in concrete tanks and large oak barrels, blending tradition with modern sensibility.
