## Summary

Barolo from the Bussia area of Monforte d'Alba, aged 24 months in large oak and at least 12 months in steel. The tech sheet is dedicated to Mariano Moscone.

## Tasting notes

Colour: garnet red turning orange with age. Nose: intense red fruit jam, plum and blackcurrant, floral notes of withered rose and violet, then more complex spice, liquorice and undergrowth. Palate: enveloping and elegant, long persistence thanks to harmonious, silky tannins; the alcohol is balanced by a surprising freshness, a sign of great ageing capacity.

## Food pairings

Classic match with succulent dishes: game, fine grilled meats, stews, boiled meats. Perfect with cured meats, also ideal with aromatic dishes based on truffle, liver and sheep cheeses.
