Tasting Notes

The color is red with an ethereal fragrance, elegant; there are perceptions of violets and roses on the nose, rich marasca cherry fruit on the palate, and final notes of spice. It is full, aristocratic and delicate.

Nebbiolo is the most noble Italian grape, and Guidobono’s version shows why. It comes from the Langhe hills surrounding the famous communes of Barolo and Barbaresco. And that’s no accident. Much like Pinot Noir, Nebbiolo is sensitive to micro-climate and expresses its terroir faithfully. As it requires just the right site, it represents only 3% of Piedmont’s total production. All the more surprising, then, that Guidobono’s wines remain great value.

Dishes- Perfect with roasts, game and matured cheeses.

Winemaker Notes

100% Nebbiolo. Fermented in stainless steel. Aged 8 months in large neutral barrels.

Dreaming of one day being able to produce Barolo, the Faccenda family purchased this winery in 2003. The vineyards lie just outside of Monforte, the vines are 30/40 years old, the soil of limestone composition.
