## Summary

Barbaresco DOCG Riserva from the Le Riserve range of Marchesi di Barolo, made from Nebbiolo 100%. 14% vol..

## Tasting notes

The colour is a deep garnet red, gradually filled with orange hues with aging. The aroma is intense, ethereal, with clear scents of tobacco, dog rose, spices. It has a strong tarry note. The taste is elegant, with plenty of tannins that are well-expressed but balanced and pleasant.

## Food pairings

It goes well with first courses enriched by hearty sauces such as meat sauce and porcini, with roasted or braised meats, lamb, ripened cheeses, sheep and goat cheeses. If long-aged, it becomes a meditation wine.
