Zerbosco Il Costiolo presents a deep garnet hue, indicative of its robust character. On the nose, it unfurls layers of ripe black cherry, dried fig, and a whisper of leather, underscored by a subtle minerality. The palate is full-bodied and structured, with finely grained tannins providing a firm backbone. A vibrant acidity enlivens the dark fruit core, while hints of cocoa and anise add complexity. The finish is long and harmonious, echoing with notes of black pepper and a gentle earthiness. This wine exemplifies the elegance and depth typical of its region, inviting contemplation and appreciation.

Zerbosco Il Costiolo is crafted from hand-harvested grapes in the rolling hills of Piedmont, Italy. Benefiting from a continental climate with significant diurnal temperature variation, the vineyard allows for optimal ripening and retention of acidity. The wine undergoes fermentation in stainless steel tanks to preserve its fresh fruit character, followed by a period of aging in neutral oak barrels to add subtle complexity without overpowering the natural flavors. This results in a balanced wine with bright acidity and a medium body, ideal for those who appreciate a harmonious expression of Piedmont's terroir.
