A lighter bodied 100% Nebbiolo with finesse for days. Vibrant with notes of sour cherries, clove and soft florals. Pretty perfumed palate.

The Perego familia has been tending vines on these sheer mountainous terraces since 1860. Their rosso is an honest expression of the family's values: "time and humility are what make our wine the purest, sincerest expression of this land and of the people who cultivate it with such dedication.
