This wine shows a brilliant ruby red color and nuances of garnet red,
moderate transparency. The nose reveals intense, clean, pleasing, refined
and elegant aromas which start with good hints of plum, blackberry and
violet followed by good aromas of black cherry, blueberry, dried rose,
licorice, tobacco, cinnamon, vanilla and hints of pink pepper and
chocolate. In the mouth has good correspondence to the nose, a slightly
tannic attack and however balanced by alcohol, full body, intense flavors,
good tannins, agreeable crispness. The finish is persistent with flavors
of plum, blueberry and black cherry. A well made wine. This Barolo ages
for 14 months in cask.
