Merlot, Nebbiolo, Dolcetto
Description
It is a “concept wine” which represents the typical taste of the Langhe wines, combined with an international varietal like Merlot. As our legislation does not include a specific denomination for such a blend, it is labelled as “Red Wine”, although it is produced with three D.O.C. wines made from the best grapes of the area: perfect wine for aging. A balanced and appealing, exciting and quite unique wine. The label was designed by Mauro Rosso, an artist from Alba.
