Barolo

Tasting notes

Deep ruby red leaning to brick red. Intense bouquet, opening on violet and dried dog-rose and evolving toward tar, fading into a very distinctive ethereal bouquet. The palate confirms the aromas: harmonious, full and very persistent.

Pairs well with

Red meats, stews, game and strongly flavoured cheeses, with polenta.
