Barolo DOCG del Comune di La Morra
To the eye it offers a very beautiful color scheme, never too intense, but very stable over time.
The bouquet is rich, broad and very persistent. Reminiscent of fresh fruit, small fruits in particular, sensations of sweet spices, mountain hay and underbrush.
Very good structure; tannins and acids are present in a very pleasant balance. It is a wine worthy of the fame it has always enjoyed.
Beloved by great connoisseurs and fans of wines with a strong personality. However, it is also necessary to be equipped with a lot of fortitude because usually a big one will be expected, as in this case. The Barolo in question will offer its best in 5/6 years.
Recommended pairings: excellent with roasts and game.
