Barolo 2016 Burzi
Variety: Nebbiolo 100%
Pale ruby red, with subtle garnet shades.
The nose is intense and persuasive, amiably multifaceted, it also excels in quality. It has aromas of flowers with violet in evidence among others, and fruit with plum and blackberry. The cinchona and the porcini mushrooms, then that set of scents of grass, moss, hay, leaves and chestnuts. The precision and cleanliness of the individual perfumes and then of the whole are remarkable.
On the palate it is conspicuous, well structured and in elegant harmony. The texture of tannins made gentle shines, and the creaminess expressed by the softness. Deep and well defined, the sip lengthens between aromas of red plum and rhubarb. The memory it leaves is very persistent.
Among the Barolos that of Burzi stands out for the class, elegance and sharpness of the aromas, as well as for the pleasantness of the sip. Historic vintage with immense ability to evolve over time.
Accompany the tajarin with truffle, the Fassona fillet cooked in a pan and blended with the same nebbiolo. Also excellent with small feathered game: stuffed thrushes and larded snipe.
