## Summary

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.

## Food pairings

Red meats, game, aged cheeses
