Why buy it: because it is a wine with well-defined characteristics, which differentiate it from Nebbiolo from other production areas (Sassella, Inferno, Valgella). Also produced only in the best vintages and in limited quantities, it is characterized by a mineral trace which then opens the palate to a fresh taste, perfectly balanced in the fusion between softness and "angularity". Let's define it with two adjectives: harmonious and ready to drink.
