This Barolo shows a brilliant ruby red color and nuances of brick red,
moderate transparency. The nose reveals intense, clean, pleasing, refined
and elegant aromas that start with hints of cherry, violet and raspberry
followed by aromas of plum, rose, cyclamen, vanilla, tobacco, licorice,
strawberry jam, cinnamon, cocoa, cigar box, mace and menthol. The mouth has
very good correspondence to the nose, a tannic attack and pleasing
crispness, however balanced by alcohol, full body, intense flavors. The
finish is persistent with flavors of cherry, raspberry and plum. A well
made wine. This Barolo ages for 12 months in barrique followed by 18 months
of aging in cask.
