Cardunaj, in Piedmontese, means land rich in thistles, wild plants that naturally grow in the sandy, sun-exposed soils of the Roero and are a typical presence in these hills.
From this native grape variety comes a particularly aromatic wine: on the nose, aromas evoke sweet sensations, while on the palate the finish remains dry and balanced. Traditionally, this grape has been vinified in a sweet style; in this case, a different interpretation has been chosen, aimed at enhancing its freshness and expressiveness also in a dry version. Perfect with dishes that are difficult to pair, such as asparagus risotto, artichokes, or spiced ethnic preparations.
This expression of red wine can be challenging for many people; this is a fairly unique. You'll find a combination of flowery, savory, spicy components, the fruit is not the main actor here (and not so much from the oak but pepper, camphor, herbs…). I highly recommend to pair it with a complex dish and to enjoy it a little cold. One of the most unusual wine experiences for an extremely reasonable price.
