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.

Review
Youthful and bright ruby-purple colour; meaty and ferrous/ironstone aromas, a hint of bitumen, the palate very intense and full bodied, with mouth-coating tannins and excellent depth of flavour that lingers on. The tannins are firm and persuasive. The hint of meaty reduction arose after extended time in the glass. A slightly confusing wine.

Tasting Profile
palate

An ever intense bouquet, rich and lingering with hints of licorice, mint and sensations of ripe fruit. With time, estery sensations develop with hints recalling resin and sweet spices. Full flavor, marked acidity and tannic weave which evolve and balance out with maturation. Good ageing prospects.
