About this wine
A dry, young, and fragrant wine, ruby red in color with violet tones, showing intense fruity aromas reminiscent of cherries. Meant to be enjoyed with less cellaring than the estate's Nebbiolo-based wines.
One of the softest, most approachable reds in Bera's lineup — a great everyday choice.
