• Wine Enthusiast: This stunning Barolo from one of the most famed vineyards in the denomination opens with aromas of wild berry, new leather, pipe tobacco and a balsamic note of menthol. Succulent, full-bodied and smooth, the structured palate seamlessly combines elegance and power, delivering juicy morello cherry, raspberry compote, licorice and chopped mint. Firm polished tannins provide the impressive framework.
