By Vietti, Barolo, Piemonte, Italy
Timorasso from the single Boscogrosso vineyard on the watershed hill between Monleale and Volpeglino.
Tasting notes
Clear, intense yellow. Complex aromas combine freshness and pleasantness, with ethereal hydrocarbon notes, floral hawthorn and sweet honey. Broad, fresh, mineral, complex and very persistent on the palate.
