Roero docg Riserva Giacomo Vico 2011

This wine is endowed with a great personality and it is obtained thanks to some selected Nebbiolo grapes. The colour of it is a ruby red one, with some garnet-colored reflexes; furthermore, the perfume is a fragrant and fruited one, in addition to smells of cherry, strawberry, blueberry and spices, besides vanilla and licorice ones. This wine is a dry one, but at the same time it has a good structure: for these peculiarities it is perfect in combination with important platters based on meat, as roasts and braised beef.
