## Summary

Barolo from the mid-hillside (320-370m) La Villa vineyard in the village of Barolo, aged two years in 2,000-14,000 litre Allier barrels and at least a further year in bottle before release.

## Tasting notes

Ruby red with garnet highlights, a sumptuous bouquet of ripe plums, tobacco, mint, rosemary, cinnamon and dried mushrooms. Very dense, closely woven tannins, soft and balanced.

## Food pairings

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