It is made from the indigenous Nebbiolo grapes that have been dried and macerated for at least four months, giving the wine an intense ruby red color and a distinctive flavor. On the nose, this robust red has intense aromas of dried cherries, prunes, leather, and tobacco, with some hints of licorice and spices. On the palate, it is full-bodied, with powerful tannins that are balanced by a lively acidity. Its flavors are of ripe dark fruits, spices, and minerals, leading to a long and savory finish.

ORIGINS
Winery: Mamete Prevostini
Region: Lombardy
Lombardy is a region in the north of Italy, located in the foothills of the Alps. With a long history of winemaking, Lombardy is one of the most prolific wine regions in Italy, producing a wide range of styles from sparkling to still wines.
The history of winemaking in Lombardy dates back to the Roman Empire, when the region was known as Cisalpine Gaul. During this period, the Romans planted vineyards and developed winemaking techniques that are still used today. In the Middle Ages, Lombardy was an important center of winemaking, with many monasteries producing wine for religious ceremonies. In the 19th century, Lombardy was one of the first regions in Italy to embrace modern winemaking techniques, such as the use of oak barrels and the introduction of new grape varieties.CUSTOMER RATING
