Coste della Sesia DOC 'il Centovigne' - 2016

By accenting Nebbiolo with Vespolina, Il Centovigne becomes an especially aromatic wine that combines floral and earth tones with fresh red fruit. This wine gains its complexity from the unique sandy soils in the municipality of Mottalciata combined with aging for 24 months in tonneaux and 12 months in bottle before release.
