Tasting notes

Deep garnet colour with a light orange hue. Elegant and restrained bouquet with some of the most typical Barolo aromatics : dried flowers, aromatic herbs, spice and red fruit. As in the nose the palate shows the same compexitiy of aroma. Silky tannins accompany a remarkable acididty and sapidity to deliver a long mineral finish. A Barolo of superb finesse and longevity
