Red
Barolo
By Bricco Carlina, Barolo, Piemonte, Italy
The estate's classic Barolo, blended from small Grinzane Cavour vineyards with vines aged 7 to 45 years.
Tasting notes
Intense garnet red. Delicate but intense nose of ripe red fruits and fine spices. Elegant palate with rose, cherry, chalk and white pepper, fresh with vibrant, vertical acidity. Round, silky, persistent tannins; harmony from grapes of different exposures and soils.
Pairs well with
Stewed meat, game, roasts, strong and mature cheeses.
