Tasting Notes: This bottle is a soulful expression of the Langhe, capturing the sun-drenched hills of Neive with remarkable poise. On the nose, it reveals a delicate dance of dried rose petals, bright red cherry, and hints of savory wild herbs that evoke the Italian countryside. The palate is structured yet graceful, offering a vibrant freshness and polished tannins that carry flavors of orange zest and earthy minerals into a long, persistent finish. It is a sophisticated red that pairs beautifully with truffle-infused tajarin or a slow-cooked Barolo braised beef.
Estate History: Francesco Versio is a rising star in the Piedmontese wine scene, having honed his craft as the former winemaker at the legendary Bruno Giacosa. In 2013, he began revitalizing his family’s historic vineyards, which span several prestigious crus in Neive, to launch his own small-scale production. Francesco represents a new generation of growers who honor old-world traditions, focusing on minimal intervention and aging in large Slavonian oak casks to allow the terroir to speak clearly. Today, his estate is celebrated for producing artisanal wines that balance power with an ethereal elegance, making them a true hidden gem of the region.
