The nose denotes intense, clean, pleasing, refined and elegant aromas which start with hints of cherry, plum and raspberry followed by aromas of raspberry, rose, blueberry, tobacco, vanilla, cocoa, mace, pink pepper and menthol. The mouth has excellent correspondence to the nose, a tannic attack and however balanced by alcohol, full body, intense flavors, pleasing crispness. The finish is very persistent with long flavors of cherry, plum and raspberry. Barolo Le Vigne ages for 24 months in cask followed by 18 months of aging in bottle.
