Tasting notes
Garnet red. Ethereal perfume of dried flowers and aromatic herbs. Dry, warm and structured, with substantial tannin, ripe fruit and cherry compote and a delicate finish of spice. A long, persistent Barolo suited to long ageing.
Pairs well with
Braised meat, grilled meat, risotto al Barolo.
