Tasting Note:
Nebbiolo Marne Brune stands out for its fragrance, which is already evident in its ruby-red colour of varying intensity depending on the vintage, and is confirmed on the nose by bouquets of flowers and wild fruit, and on the palate by its strong personality and dry, nicely almond-like taste.

Geographical origin: grown on vineyards planted on the best slopes of hillsides north-west of Alba in Vezza d'Alba Montaldo and Monteu Roero,
