Gianfranco Alessandria
San Giovanni Barolo Nebbiolo
Barolo, Cuneo, Piedmont, Italy
Ruby with a bouquet of dark fruit, spices, leather and licorice. On the palate flavors of cherry and strawberry with notes of pepper, smoky tobacco, herbs and cacao. Long finish, nice balance with fine soft tannins ending with smoky notes, cacao and earthy sweet notes. Just starting to drink now, but a few more years will benefit.

Had it October 2012.
Very fruity, modern, balanced, but not complex. Not my Barolo.
