BAROLO DOCG
Tasting notes
In this excellent vintage, our 2009 Barolo is garnet red with ruby highlights.
The nose is intense, with clear spicy overtones fleshed out by sweet fruit showing immediate ripeness; its typical character is emphasized by slight hints of liquorice and an elegant balsamic note.
On the palate it is intense and mouth-filling, with vigorous tannins.
