Classic Barolo vintage that should age well. Traditional style aged in large Slavonian oak and cement vats. Bright red fruits, fresh roses, tar and smoke.

Fragrant with unrelenting texture and tannins at opening. 24 hours later it’s shy but sweet with cherries and plum, floral and leather. Needs time. Plan on buying more 2017 to drink now.

Pretty lighter frame classical barolo. Only hinting at its charms.

Drinking really well after a few hours decanting. Classic Barolo aromas and some nice dark fruit flavors.
