Organoleptic characteristics: An intense walk in a forest, this is how one could define this Barolo. Fresh, herbaceous notes, reminiscent of alpine herbs, humid forest, notes of "china", with hints of tobacco and leather. Soft and velvety on the palate, balanced and with notable personality. On the nose it is clear, fine, deep, of great elegance and harmony, persistent and with dense tannins but without harshness. On the palate it is warm and enveloping, demonstrating great balance and long persistence

Pairings: excellent with medium-structured first courses, a Barolo to drink, to be enjoyed with different dishes, very versatile. Fresh, intense, fragrant. First courses, red meats, cheeses, but also to be dared on fish dishes.
