WINE DESCRIPTION

Ghemme wines may not be as well-known as those from the Langhe region, but a growing number of connoisseurs are taking notice. And for good reason: Angela and Alberto Arlunno's Ghemme wines are known for their exceptional aging potential and their ability to stand up to the famous, and often much more expensive, Barolo and Barbaresco wines in blind tastings.

These aromas are further enhanced by hints of spice, such as black pepper and cloves, adding complexity to the overall profile. The palate of this wine is rich and full-bodied, with velvety tannins that provide a smooth and elegant mouthfeel. The flavors of red fruits persist on the palate, complemented by earthy undertones and a touch of oak.
