Grape

Nebbiolo

Origin
Barolo is made in several specific zones within the Piedmont region, where slopes of calcareous clay soils provide what is seen as the best terrain for ripening Nebbiolo. This example is aged for 24 months in oak and 12 months in bottle to smooth the ample tannins.
Taste
Warm garnet colour with ruby highlights, Complex on the nose, with subtle notes of violet and pencil lead accenting the plum and cherry fruit. Weighty, fine-grained tannins provide prodigious grip.
Enjoy
Best paired with roast lamb, rare steaks or hard, mature cheeses to balance the wine's weighty texture.

    Lacking in Fruit

    Promising on the nose - typical tar / black fruit character. However on tasting found this to be very dried out with not nearly enough fruit to balance the tannins. Not recommended.

    Disappointing

    This wine lacks the fullness I would look for in a Barolo. It was thin and slightly sharp. Not recommended. I wish I hadn't wasted my money.
