Barbaresco Vigneto Nervo
This magnificent, noble and austere, fine dry red wine is made by vinifying - with a lengthy maceration - scrupulously selected, perfectly ripe grapes grown in one old vineyard. It is very well structured, with a good alcohol content and great balance. Excellent with big dishes, grilled meats and cheeses.
