Bright garnet in colour, this wine is silky, aromatic and nuanced. It has delicate aromas of red cherries and plums with hints of cinnamon and floral undertones. On the palate, crushed red fruit, rose petals, spices and orange peel combine with polished tannins and a velvety mouthfeel with a long finish.

This wine is a blend of two vineyards in La Morra. 50% of the fruit is grown in the Giachini vineyard, which faces east. The other half comes from Annunziata, which faces west. Both vineyards are about 250 metres above sea level. Soils are calcareous and clayey. Training system is a counter and the pruning is normal Guyot.

The Corino family have farmed land in La Morra since the 1950s, originally coming to the region as ‘mezzadri’, or sharecroppers. Yet it wasn’t until Giuliano Corino took over from his grandfather Giovanni in the 1980s that the Corino name became synonymous with some of La Morra’s finest Nebbiolo. Having originally sold their fruit, Giuliano was determined to start making and bottling his own wine from his family's vines.
