Barolo DOCG Del Comune di Verduno
: An intense walk in a forest is how you can see this Barolo. Fresh, herbaceous notes,
reminiscent of mountain herbs, wet forest, notes of China bark, with hints of tobacco and leather. Soft and velvety on the palate, balanced, with notable personality. On the nose it is clean, fine, showing great depth, balance, presistence and elegance. On the palate, it is warm and enveloping, demonstrating great balance, lovely tannins and long persistence. From three diferent vineyards/MGAs in the municipality of Verduno, Breri, Massara and Boscatto.
