Description

Renowned the world over, this noble descendent of Nebbiolo wine has its roots in the Italian Unification. Many illustrious figures bore witness to its origins, like Marchesa Giulia Falletti di Barolo, Count Cavour and the first royalty from the House of Savoia. An austere, generous wine, quite ageable, which is considered a merit in Italian oenology. The municipalities in the Barolo production area are: La Morra, Monforte, Serralungad’Alba (with its exceptionally well-preserved medieval military fortress), Castiglio Falletto (its symbol, a round medieval tower, is private property just like the manor), Novello, Grinzane Cavour. Verduno, Diano d’Alba, Cherasco and Roddi.

Review
Medium-depth of brick-red with a tinge of purple at the rim. Assorted dried flowers, dried herbs, mushroom stock, baked earth and terracotta, slight bituminous notes, a complex and charming, typical Barolo bouquet. Lovely mouth-feel and fleshy richness, medium bodied and supple, the texture a highlight but it's also super-complex and gives an awful lot of Barolo for the price. Already very accessible.

Tasting Profile
palate

Red garnet colour with orangey nuances which become more accentuated as years go by; delicate, etheric, intense, full and lingering aromas; flavour warm, full, complex, dry and harmonious. Its austerity is linked to the presence of sweet and complex tannins
