Introduction:
This approachable Nebbiolo from Alto Piemonte captures rich fruit expression and balanced structure—true to Franco Serra’s tradition of crafting value-driven, authentic wines with character.

Terroir:
Grown on gentle, calcareous hills of Monferrato—benefiting from Mediterranean influences—these elevated sites yield riper, more accessible Nebbiolo. Sustainable practices maintain freshness and regional clarity.

Appearance:
Clear medium ruby—bright and inviting.

Nose:
Emanates dried rose petals, ripe cherries, graphite, and olive-herb nuances; it’s refined and expressive.

Palate:
Medium-bodied and nicely layered. Red cherry and red currant flavors are framed by wet-stone minerality, underbrush complexity, and fine tannins, all supported by vibrant acidity.

Finish:
Clean and persistent with echoes of red fruit and a lingering mineral edge.

Overall Impression:
This Nebbiolo delivers a polished and lively experience—characterized by ripe fruit, floral nuance, and subtle mineral backbone. Medium-bodied and balanced, it’s accessible now but will develop further depth through the late 2020s. A standout choice for everyday drinking with traditional Piedmont fare.
