Rated 90/100 Jeb Dunnuck

Cultivated in Valle d'Aosta (and Switzerland)....a very demanding grape in terms of heat and brightness, it is characteristic of the central valley. The most suitable slope is undoubtedly the orographic left, but at not too high altitude and with adequate exposure it gives very interesting wines on the opposite side.
Color: deep ruby ​​red, with purple red.
Nose: very intense, characterized by spicy notes

Taste: dry, soft, rich in important but velvety tannins. Exquisite when savored at the right maturity. The good body of enveloping tannins, make it a good companion for many important dishes of the Valdostana cuisine.
