Variety: Nebbiolo 100%
Organic Green Experience.
Ruby red color with garnet and orange brushstrokes in the less thick areas.
The nose has classic scents of Brunate cru with red plum and white peach. Cherry, wild berries and aromatic herbs are added. The violet emerges from the flowers. China and rhubarb make it even more complex. Taken together, the aromas are clean and elegant and of excellent quality, for a synthesis that identifies it as a great Barolo.
On the palate it is full-bodied and at the same time endowed with a rigid structure, in a great balance between softness and hardness. In evidence the texture of the tannins, well marked, but mature and therefore not annoyingly pungent. The entrance, the presence and the memory that he leaves are not only satisfactory, but excellent.
Excellent vintage, which is confirmed in the glass, for a Barolo with great aging capacity.
