Not bad. This has been the best of the lower priced Italians so far. Would be curious to get again. Deep and very dry but opened nicely even the next day or two. Pleasant.

Definitely one of the better Barolo’s. It is very rich, full bodied; strong, lasting finish, similar to a Cabernet without the oaky-ness. Highly recommend!

Let it breath. Tannins play well with roast chicken tacos.

Very good! Paired with cooked and diced ham over cavatelli, with sautéed white onion (butter and olive oil), edamame and pecorino Romano cheese. So much flavor.
