A true commodity in the world of Barolo- an approachable young wine that doesn’t sacrifice typicity. Highly aromatic- redolent of raspberry, cherry, roses, mint, orange peel, creosote, tea and tobacco but without the coarse tannins. Some oak spice showing up, but the fruit shines. This would be the ideal introduction to Barolo for many consumers with its fragrant, soft and effusive fruit but it’s also an honest expression of terroir. “Barolo for beginners” should not be taken as derogatory, this is a fine example.

Fruit and spice. Raspberry, cherry and black cherry w/ hints of tobacco. Very approachable and a very good price for this Barolo.

Funk right off the bat, but didn't take long to soften up. Beautiful for a 375ml
