Roses linger in a very long finish.
Absolutely delicious wine. Perfect with a Piemontese regional specialty from Marcella Hazan, filetto al Barolo , filet mignons quickly pan-braised with red wine. A clear, pale straw color, it offers light and pleasant melon aromas and floral notes of honeysuckle. Crisp, fresh and bright on the palate, it shows a light and pleasant bitterness in the finish.
