Ruby red with garnet highlights that evolve with age; intense, ethereal scent of ripe fruit with notes of rose and blackberry, enriched with vanilla, cocoa and spices; elegant, genteel, fruity and mineral, with crisp tannins that predict excellent longevity. Pair with tajarin (fine tagliatelle) or plin (small Piedmontese ravioli) with Alba White Truffle, red meats, roasts, game and hard cheeses. Our recommendation: pheasant with pomegranate. When to drink it: at a refined dinner with just a few friends, with jazz playing in the background.
