Barolo (Piedmont)

Nebbiolo
Red Wine	Score: ✧✧✧✧✭

This Barolo shows a brilliant ruby red color and nuances of garnet red, moderate transparency. The nose reveals good personality and clean, intense, elegant, refined and pleasing aromas which start with pleasing aromas of black cherry jam, plum jam and vanilla followed by good aromas of raspberry, blueberry, violet and dried rose as well as hints of toffee, tar, leather and licorice. In the mouth has good correspondence to the nose, a firm and slightly alcoholic attack however well balanced by good tannins, full body and intense flavors. The finish is very persistent with long and clean flavors of plum jam, black cherry jam and raspberry. A well made Barolo. This wine ages for 24 months in barrique followed by 14 months of aging in bottle.
