Soft, like laying in a field of white flowers and camomile listening to the trickle of a distant brook. This is a layered wine that wants fresh air (decant) to bloom. All Bio-D

Nose of pennies and rose. Acidic, with notes of lemon and chalk. Finish reminds me of other Piemonte wines (maybe leathery?)

Floral notes on the nose, high acidity, lemony/salty finish. Good pairing with the cacio e pepe fried gnocchi.
