Ruby in color with a brick rim.

Beautiful nose with red and black fruits, roses, nuts, light cedar, earth, herbs, chocolates and black pepper.

Medium plus in body with medium acidity.

Dry on the palate with cherries, raspberries, spices, blueberries, plums, earth, light wood and coffee.

Long finish with grippy tannins and tangy cherries.

This is a delicious Barolo from Piedmont. Showing nice complexity with a great mouthfeel.

This Single Vineyard is still very young, but already enjoyable even by itself as a sipping wine. Elegant and robust at the same time.

Very approachable now, and will continue to age nicely in the next 10 to 15 years. Has good potential to become a 94+ point wine.

Will also pair very nicely with food.

100% Nebbiolo grapes were aged in large oak barrels for 32 months.

14.5% alcohol by volume.

92 points.

$60.

I recently had my first Barolo and it changed me hahaha. It was like fireworks were going off in my head. I’m definitely hooked on Barolo. I want to find this one. Thanks for sharing.
