Dry lawnit's aRed winefrom the table and for this reason - as a table wine - according to the competent Authorities, I cannot reveal to you precisely which grape variety it is.
But I can tell you it's a deep sipPiedmontese, single-variety with a strong character, which follows the local tradition whereby the best grapes harvested with very low harvest yields (to have an absolute quality of the bunches) are selected for wines with a long aging.

It should be uncorked and enjoyed in its phases: being aaged wine, it needs some time to oxygenate, expand in the glass and therefore give the best of itself.
If you drink it with friends, give it at least half an hour, uncork and leave the bottle open, then in a large glass it will hit everyone.
