## Summary

Barolo from a single Grinzane Cavour vineyard planted in 1950 and enlarged in 2016, aged about 30 months in large oak before 12 months in bottle.

## Tasting notes

Ruby red with definite garnet hues. Rich, immediate nose of ripe red fruits, blueberries and blackberries, with a leathery finish. Classic, rich and powerful in the mouth, with important but already well-combined tannins and a long, persistent finish. The producer recommends decanting a few hours before serving.

## Food pairings

Stewed meat, game, roasts, strong and mature cheeses.
