Red
Sorano
By Matteo Ascheri, Langhe, Piemonte, Italy
A classic Barolo from MGA Sorano in Serralunga d'Alba, produced only in the best vintages.
Tasting notes
Garnet red colour. Ethereal and intense aroma: tar with hints of dried flowers, undergrowth, leather, truffle and sweet spices. Rich palate; balance and ripe tannins contribute to its harmony, distinction and intensity. An extraordinarily elegant and austere wine, with exceptional richness and typicality.
Pairs well with
Film: Parthenope (Paolo Sorrentino). Art: Monarch of the Valley (Edwin Landseer).
