Tasting notes

The colour is ruby, veering towards garnet red. The aroma is intense, with clear scents of rose, liquorice, spices and aromatic herbs, especially wild mint. Full and elegant taste with good body. This, together with the delicate colour and the structure, creates a Barolo of immediate pleasantness, balance and harmony.

Pairs well with

It is ideal for sipping alongside typical starters from the Langhe: raw meat, flan with vegetables, eggs with truffle. Excellent with tajarin, roasts, sheep and goat toma cheeses and hard medium-ripened cheeses.
