## Summary

The estate's flagship Barolo from a high Novello cru, first bottled under its vineyard name in 2003: austere, spicy and built to age.

Garnet with ruby glints. Complex nose of balsamic notes, sweet spice, liquorice and small red berries. Austere, powerful and structured, with firm but smooth tannins emerging after an initial impression of richness; full-bodied
