About the Wine
Bright garnet red. The nose ranges from very intensely floral in the early years to characteristic goudron (tar) as it ages, through a multitude of scents which are always particularly seductive. It perfectly summarizes the essential characteristics of Barolo wine, such as grand structure, excellent alcohol concentration, and tannins capable of guaranteeing very long aging. It opens up gradually and reaches its maximum and most important expression after aging for a few years; this leads to its release for sale in the sixth year after harvesting with an increasingly consistent part of the wine being held back for release in the tenth year!
It expresses its best potential when served with meat dishes, rich in intense and persistent aromas and flavors, such as joints of lamb or kid. Also, thanks to its marked tannins, it is simply superb with the bitter-sweet alternation of furry and feathered game.
