Serving Suggestions & Culinary Pairings

  • Gourmet Pairings: Pairs exquisitely with traditional Piedmontese braised meats, roast lamb, prime beef brisket, and aged hard cheeses.
  • Cellaring Potential: Built for long-term aging, this wine will continue to evolve gracefully in the cellar for years to come.
