Red
Viglioni
By Simone Scaletta, Barolo, Piemonte, Italy
A Dolcetto from a 0.95 hectare south-west vineyard in Monforte d'Alba, described by the producer as edgy and explosive.
Tasting notes
Violet in colour, with a bittersweet aftertaste of fresh almonds that comes from the balanced, structured acidity of its tannins.
