Barolo DOCG Monvigliero
Delicious on the nose thanks to the breadth of the aromas that are revealed. Energy and character with hints of red plums, dried red flowers and spices. References to cinnamon, cloves and white pepper emerge. Full-bodied. Ripe tannins and a subtle and decisive finish. A sensory journey, from nose to palate, passing through scents of rose, ripe fruit, delicate spices, and tobacco.
