## Summary

A Barolo Riserva from the Vigna Cucco parcel at the top of the Cerrati cru, aged in barriques and about 3 years in bottle.

## Tasting notes

Bright ruby red with slight orange hues. Complex, enveloping bouquet of wild rose with cocoa, tobacco and spices, then shrivelled blackberry and pressed sour black cherry. Full, harmonious and warm, with a slightly dry, complex finish.

## Food pairings

A full-bodied wine that suits complex meat dishes and game in general, and brings out seasoned cheeses.
