🌿 Tasting Profile & Style

• Color: Deep ruby‑garnet.

• Aroma / Nose: Rich and inviting — notes of ripe dark berries (plum, dark cherry), red fruit, possibly hints of licorice, cocoa or bitter cocoa‑chocolate, with spicy or earthy undertones, and a subtle touch of oak or cedar. 

• Palate / Taste: Medium‑ to full‑bodied, warm and smooth, with integrated tannins and good acidity. The blend offers a balance between the fruitiness of Barbera and the structure and complexity of Nebbiolo. Flavor profile includes dark/red fruits, perhaps hints of earth or spice, and a pleasant, lingering finish. 

• Structure & Drinkability: “Monprà 2023” is approachable and relatively plush — a style designed for more immediate drinking, but with sufficient backbone to benefit from some aging too.

• Hearty pasta dishes or risotto with meat sauces

• Medium‑aged cheeses or stronger cheeses

• Game dishes or grilled meats
