Estimate
...real stunner...show classic, well-balanced lines... This wine takes us to the very heart and soul of the Barolo appellation...the Rocche di Castiglione fruit evidently gives the wine structure and depth, Cannubi and its sandy soils adds the floral and fruit fragrances...
Aromas of fragrant purple flower, wild berry and a whiff of exotic spice lead the nose. On the taut structured palate, tight fine-grained tannins offset cherry, pomegranate, star anise and a hint of espresso while bright acidity lends energy and balance.
Licorice and asphalt aromas with ripe fruit and walnut undertones. Full body, round and chewy tannins and a flavorful finish. A little fluid in the center palate.
Black cherry and plum fruit is shaded by vanilla and eucalyptus notes in this sinewy version. Though sleek and vibrant, this offers a finish girded by beefy tannins.
