By Principiano Giuseppe e Francesco, Barolo, Piemonte, Italy
A single-vineyard Barolo from Boscareto in Serralunga d'Alba, with 20 to 25 days of maceration and 3 years of ageing.
Tasting notes
Intense garnet red with an enveloping aroma that evolves with age into spice, black pepper, truffle, cocoa and balsamic notes. Decidedly powerful, elegant and persistent, gaining roundness and length over the years.
Pairs well with
Red meats (braised, roasted, grilled, on the spit), game, cheeses.
