## Summary

By law a Barolo Riserva needs at least five years of ageing before release: three in medium and large oak barrels, one in large concrete tanks and a final year in bottle.

## Tasting notes

Deep garnet red with ruby highlights. Intense, clear-cut nose of wormwood, cocoa, mint, black cherry, leather and dried mushrooms. Sweet, velvety tannins and a very long, warm finish.

## Food pairings

Big red meat dishes and medium to mature cheeses; also good after-dinner conversation.
