Terlo

By L'Astemia Pentita, Barolo, Piemonte, Italy

L'Astemia Pentita Terlo

Barolo from one hectare in the little-known Terlo MGA, on grey-blue Tortonian marl. Powerful and tense, it rewards time in the bottle.

Tasting notes

Mineral, earthy nose with liquorice and flowers, evolving into black fruits and spices. Opulent and powerful, with very intense but elegant tannins and a balsamic touch; more complex aromas develop with bottle ageing.

Pairs well with

Red meats, game, aged cheeses
