Garnet red with ruby highlights. The bouquet is elegant and complex, with aromas of violets, roses, red cherries, raspberries, and hints of licorice, spice, and mineral notes typical of Gattinara’s volcanic soils. On the palate it is medium- to full-bodied, fresh and vibrant, with well-structured tannins, balanced acidity, and a long, persistent finish marked by elegance and minerality. Food Pairings: Ideal with roasted or braised red meats, game (venison, hare, boar), risotto with mushrooms, truffle-based dishes, and aged cheeses such as Castelmagno, Pecorino, or Parmigiano Reggiano. Excellent with traditional Piedmontese cuisine like agnolotti del plin or bollito misto.
