From: Corsini, Monforte d'Alba, Italy
Varietal: Dolcetto, Nebbiolo, Barbera

Taste: The resulting wine exhibits a deep ruby red color with violet hues. The bouquet is rich and complex, dominated by black cherry, blackberry, and currant aromas, complemented by subtle notes of earth, tobacco, and leather. On the palate, it is well-structured, balancing lively acidity and moderate tannins, with flavors of juicy dark fruits and hints of pepper leading to a dry finish.



Pairing: For a balanced pairing, consider dishes that highlight acidity and umami, complementing the wine’s juicy dark fruit character and subtle spice. Tomato-based pastas, like a classic tagliatelle al ragù work well with the wine’s structure and acidity. Grilled or roasted meats, like herb-marinated pork loin or marinated grilled chicken, bring out its savory side. The wine’s freshness also makes it an excellent match for earthy mushroom risottos or roasted vegetable dishes, particularly those featuring eggplant or bell peppers. For a modern take, try it with spiced lamb meatballs with yogurt sauce, where the acidity cuts through the richness while the fruit tones balance the spice. Its versatility extends to casual fare like gourmet burgers topped with caramelized onions and aged cheese.
