Barolo del Comune di La Morra
By Trediberri, Barolo, Piemonte, Italy
A Barolo blended from all of the estate's La Morra vineyards, made as the 2018 vintage. Fresh and immediate, with acidity that lets it age for a long time.
Tasting notes
2018: pure nose of fruit, soft and light mid-palate, lingering deep finish; described as an iron fist in a velvet glove, with enough inner freshness to last for decades.
Pairs well with
Raclette, fondue, and Indian and Thai dishes
