Suckling describes this wine as a modern, balanced proposition:

The wine shows a vibrant aromatic profile, with black and red fruit complemented by delicate nuances of ground spice and dried citrus.

On the palate it's medium-bodied, with a slightly “dusty” texture and firm but crunchy tannins, giving structure without weight.

The finish is juicy and persistent, marked by the freshness of blue and red fruit, reinforcing its food-friendly nature.

Suckling also highlights the harmony of this blend — combining Nebbiolo, Barbera and international grapes — stressing its ability to keep Piedmont's typical elegance even in a hot year like 2017.
