By Azienda Agricola Stra, Barolo, Piemonte, Italy
A Barolo from old vines in the La Volta MGA in the municipality of Barolo, aged 36 months in barrel. Drinkable now, and made for long ageing.
Tasting notes
Garnet red with ruby reflections. Intense scent with a wide range of ripe fruit such as plum and blackberry, then a harmony of spices. Robust, warm, full and velvety on the palate, not too persistent, never invasive, with evident notes of tobacco and coffee.
