Delicate blackberry, volcanic rocks, cold smoke, faint ripe plum, velvet-like black cherry. A more muscular / modern Barolo, leaning more towards a Sangiovese profile than purely Nebbiolo.
From our cellar, cork pulled for slow oxidation at 11h, then a 90m decant prior to dinner with continued development in our glasses. Paired to a duck ragu with hand made Pappardelle.
Only three vintages produced, 1999 being the inaugural. Could easily hold another 15-20Y, in proper storage, without concern.

Needed a day once open and definitely more time in the bottle. 5+ years maybe. Really nice red fruit, leather, dark chocolate bitterness, fruit leather and some tertiary.
