Red
Tulin
By Pelissero, Barbaresco, Piemonte, Italy
Barbaresco named after the vineyard it comes from, first made as a named wine in 2001; in Piedmontese, a tulin is a small tin vessel.
Tasting notes
Clear ruby red. Broad aromas of magnesium and iron tied to the mineral soil, fruit with clear varietal notes and a measured touch of wood. Austere Nebbiolo on the palate, with smoothness, savouriness and fitting tannin in a velvety frame.
