Red
Barolo Riserva
By Vietti, Barolo, Piemonte, Italy
A Barolo Riserva blended from several selected vineyards; for the 2016 vintage a vineyard in Serralunga d'Alba was chosen.
Tasting notes
Intense ruby red. Notes of small ripe red fruits with balsamic and citrus nuances on the nose. Medium-bodied, rich, full and elegant on the palate. The tannins typical of Serralunga are well integrated with a sweet finish. Vibrant acidity gives the wine depth.
