BAROLO DOCG
This Barolo DOCG comes from vineyards located in the municipalities of Serralunga d’Alba and Diano d’Alba.
As a result of a long refinement and thanks to its natural characteristics, this Barolo DOCG wine is robust in character, full bodied and of rich structure. It helds up well over the years. In the glass, the Barolo is a fascinating wine of ruby red colour with garnet-red reflections which tend to become orange over time. The smell is clear, deep and intense with a typical scent of withered flowers, spices, mulch and undergrowth. The taste is warm, soft, velvety, harmonious and with a long persistent finish.
