Made from 100% Nebbiolo grapes, it comes from the historic Ravera vineyard, one of the most representative in the village of Novello. While the 2014 vintage is generally considered a challenging \"difficult year\" in Piedmont due to its cold, rainy, and demanding conditions, winemaker Valter Fissore, through his masterful craftsmanship, has crafted a wine with exceptional purity and elegant depth, even describing this vintage as his \"Chambolle-Musigny\" (meaning possessing Burgundy-style delicacy and vibrancy).\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCore Flavor and Characteristics\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAroma: Presents a bright ruby red color with a garnet sheen.
