Red
Coste & Bricco
By Matteo Ascheri, Langhe, Piemonte, Italy
Power and finesse in a Barolo from the Serralunga vineyards, produced only in the best vintages.
Tasting notes
Intense garnet red colour. Complex bouquet with balsamic hints of mint combined with small fruits, flowers and sweet spices. Rich on the palate, balanced and powerful, with great harmony and exceptionally long-lived. A wine of remarkable class, extraordinarily rich and complex.
Pairs well with
Film: Once Upon a Time in America (Sergio Leone). Music: Walking In My Shoes (Depeche Mode).
