Langhe Doc “Sancarlo”

Langhe Doc “Sancarlo”

Wine that has its roots in the history of the Marrone family because it is dedicated to Carlo Marrone, the “Sancarlo” is born from the blend of Nebbiolo grapes, which bring structure and intensity, with Barbera and Dolcetto grapes, which give freshness and fruity notes, creating a classic local wine.

Sancarlo, thanks to its great balance obtained with a long aging in wooden barrels and subsequent rest in the bottle, is a wine that goes very well with first courses with meat sauce, game dishes and grilled meat, but also as an ideal meditation wine.
