Deep red with ruby tones. Aromas of marzipan, brown spices, dried rose and truffle. Suave and sweet, with a liqueur-like ripeness to the flavors of red fruits, marzipan, brown spices, menthol and leather. Nicely integrated acidity accentuates the wine's inner-mouth perfume and contributes to an impression of firm structure. Tannins are fairly tough but ripe.

Rating for Italy-Piedmont: 96 (slightly better than average year)<br/><br/>Drinkability: too young, let it sit<br/>
