Moliss is a Piedmontese word, not Italian, meaning the 'middle son'. Intense ruby red colour with violet reflections. Aromas of fruit, vanilla, and spices. The palate is dry and flinty, round and full. Gentle, integrated tannins, and just the right balance of acidity allow the wine show its full personality. The long finish has notes of tabacco and dried fruit.
