The Story
100% Nebbiolo, in addition to Classic Barolo notes of dried purple flower and bright red fruits and notes of anise, leather, and mushrooms, the charred fennel and raspberries seem to jump from the glass in this flagship bottling. Full-bodied with bright acidity and firm tannins, flavors abounds already despite this wine's youth. On the palate, the velvety texture shows red fruit, iron, game, tobacco, incense, white pepper, and dried flowers. The finish is long and savory, with lingering notes of clove and fresh tarragon...a mineral tension teases at this remarkable wine's depth and complexity. Pair with braised short ribs or osso buco, Porcini mushroom risotto, Taleggio cheese, or roasted duck breast with cherry reduction.
