Barolo
By Boroli, Barolo, Piemonte, Italy
Boroli's classic Barolo, a blend of six Castiglione Falletto vineyards, first made in 1996.
Tasting notes
Bright red colour. The nose recalls fresh wild berries and sweet liquorice. Velvety tannins on the palate, the classic Barolo in a balance of structure and elegance.
