An intense garnet red in color with ruby perceptions of raspberry jam, wild rose, rubber, snuff and liquorice characterise the aromatic picture.

The winery Cascina Morassino was founded in 1984 by Mauro Bianco, but the three previous generations already produced wine with grapes from the Ovello crù: it is therefore an example of family continuity in the management of the company. Cascina Morassino, now run by Mauro’s son, Roberto Bianco, has only four and a half hectares of life, three and a half of which are located in the Ovello subzone and one hectare in the municipality of Neive, subzone Cottà.
