By G. B. Burlotto, Barolo, Piemonte, Italy
A Nebbiolo and Barbera blend, usually half and half, aged 9 months in 500 l barrels and 9 more in large cask or steel.
Tasting notes
A barren slope of thistles and stones, cultivated with vines, has become the cradle of color, vitality, and fruity sweetness which echoes with spices and the perfumes of the countryside.
