Vespolina Colline Novaresi Mauletta DOC 2016 - Ioppa

The Vespolina Colline Novaresi Mauletta DOC from Ioppa is a red wine that embodies the elegance and complexity of Upper Piedmont. Produced through traditional winemaking methods, this wine is a true example of craftsmanship and passion. At first glance, its deep ruby color captures attention, while olfactory notes of ripe red fruits, spices and a delicate touch of liquorice emerge on the nose. On the palate, its structure is well balanced, with soft tannins that accompany a persistent, almost balsamic finish. Ideal for a romantic candlelit dinner, it pairs beautifully with red meat dishes and mature cheeses.
