30% Nebbiolo, 30% Dolcetto, 30% Barbera, 10% Grignolino. Pale onion skin pink with a slight copper hue, showing lifted aromas of wild strawberry, blood orange, watermelon rind, rose petal, dried herbs, and a faint alpine spice note from the Nebbiolo influence. The palate is bright and energetic with flavors of red cherry, raspberry, tart strawberry, citrus peel, pomegranate, and a subtle savory edge of dried thyme and white pepper. High acidity drives a crisp, mouthwatering profile with no tannin, medium-minus body, medium-plus flavor intensity, and a long, saline-tinged finish with lingering red berry and citrus zest. Well-balanced and highly expressive, this shows both aromatic complexity and structural precision, with a distinctly Italian-inspired tension wrapped in a California freshness.

Food Pairing: prosciutto, burrata, grilled shrimp, tuna tartare, Mediterranean salads, sushi, roasted chicken, pork loin, grilled vegetables, goat cheese, charcuterie
