Wine details
La Smilla Nebbiolo Monferrato DOC is a refined and structured red wine made from 100% Nebbiolo grapes grown in the hills of Monferrato. Deep cherry red with brick reflections, it offers complex aromas of cherry jam, dried strawberries, vanilla, spices, leather, and pepper. Full-bodied and elegant, with balanced acidity and delicate tannins, it reveals notes of dried cherries, violets, balsamic hints, and nutmeg. Perfect with pasta, meats, aged cheeses, and cured meats.
Region
The Langhe and Monferrato hills produce Nebbiolo of extraordinary depth and precision. Barolo and Barbaresco anchor premium lists; Barbera and Dolcetto offer immediate character. Arneis and Timorasso are gaining fast international momentum among sommeliers.
