This wine would make a great impression on an elegantly dressed table with a fine meat-based menu. The wine’s natural structure and freshness make it very food friendly and its elegant aromas of cassis, small berry, cola and white truffle will evolve beautifully throughout your meal.

This special cru selection Barbaresco offers enormous intensity and persistency of flavor. This is a supremely elegant wine with ethereal aromas of cassis, tar, licorice and root beer. There’s tannic structure and a fine texture here and the wine should age well for many more years.

Camp Gros Martinenga is located on the lower part of Rabajà at the heart of Barbaresco and produces wines with excellent expansion and staying power. This wine does an excellent job of highlighting elegance and tradition. It is streamlined and firm in the mouth with bright highlights of red currants, pressed violets and dried spice.

Here’s a very pleasurable Barbera with loads of fruit intensity followed by smoke, pipe tobacco, sweet chocolate and vanilla bean. The wine is executed in a modern style with enduring intensity and a soft, velvety finish. Pair it with baked chèvre cheese.

Intense notes of violets and Christmas spice follow through to an elegant, multi-layered palate with plenty of strawberry fruit. Drinking well now but will benefit from four or five years in the cellar.
