Red Wine	Score: ✧✧✧✧✧

This wine shows a light ruby red color and nuances of garnet red, moderate transparency. The nose has personality and intense, pleasing, elegant and refined aromas of black cherry jam, raspberry jam, plum jam and violet followed by good aromas of cocoa, leather, licorice, tobacco and vanilla. In mouth has good correspondence to the nose, an alcoholic attack well balanced by tannins, intense flavors and full body. The finish is persistent with clean flavors of raspberry, plum and cherry. A well made wine. Barolo Colonnello is aged for 26-28 months in cask.
