## Summary

A communal Barolo from the Serralunga d'Alba MGA, which the estate presents as its contemporary reading of the commune's classic traits of longevity, austerity and complexity.

## Tasting notes

Intense ruby red with garnet reflections, a broad, intense nose of blackberry, liquorice, tobacco, spice, coffee bean and faded rose with clear Nebbiolo character, and a full, multi-faceted, dry, structured, elegant palate with fine tannins and a long finish.

## Food pairings

Game, roasts and aged cheeses, also enjoyed after dinner.
