TASTING NOTES

Bricco Ambrogio stands as the exclusive cru within the confines of Roddi municipality, nestled on the southernmost crest of the town. This vineyard graces a majestic hill that spans from the south-eastern horizon to the southwestern, encompassing the southern expanse. Its gently sloping terrain basks in abundant sunlight, thereby fostering a warm microclimate that imparts ripe fruit notes to the wine it yields. 

SOIL = The soil belongs to the SantÁgata Fossili Marne geological region, characterized by a steep incline and shallow, with blue grey marl, prominently displayed at the surface. 

COLOUR = Garnet colour with brick red hue. 

BOUQUET = Very pure nose with aroma reminiscent of dried roses, roasted chestnuts, hints of dark chocolate and balmy spices, nutmeg and hints of dried aromatic herbs, under wood and black truffle.

FLAVOUR = On the palate elegant with fine acidity and still distinct tannins, fine sweetness and multi layered finish.
