Description
Barolo Brunate 2010 Magnum Claudio Boggione
Variety: Nebbiolo 100%
Organic Green Experience.
Iridescent garnet color, with a rare charm.
An excellent vintage turns into an exceptional wine for an expert winemaker like Claudio. Varied and classy, aromas of ripe fruit, dried violet, forest in autumn, white peach and aromatic herbs follow one another. Needless to say, it is a great Barolo, one of those that give prestige to the whole denomination.
On the palate the excellent vintage grants balance, between power and elegance, harmony between the parts and depth in the sip. The tannic texture is excellent, endemic to the vine, just as the creaminess expressed by the softness is excellent. The memory between plum and cinchona aromas is very long.
Excellent vintage, which gave well ripe fruit, but at the same time rich in acidity, as a result Baroli and Barbareschi full-bodied with a great aging prospect.
