Red Wine	Score: ✧✧✧✧✧

A magnificent Barolo! This wine shows a beautiful and brilliant garnet red color and nuances of orange/brick red, moderate transparency. The nose reveals strong personality with intense, elegant, pleasing and very clean aromas of black cherry jam, strawberry jam, raspberry jam, blueberry jam, plum jam and dried violet followed by elegant and refined aromas of anise, cinnamon, chocolate, leather, licorice, mint, rosemary, thyme and vanilla. In the mouth has excellent correspondence to the nose, a slightly crisp attack however well balanced by alcohol, good and balanced tannins, intense flavors and full body. The finish is very persistent with long and clean flavors of plum, black cherry, blueberry and raspberry. A great wine. Granbussia riserva is produced only in the best years with wines from Romirasco, Cicala and Colonnello vineyards, ages for 26-28 months in cask followed by 6 years of aging in cellar.
