A classic style Barolo. Excellent structure, harmony and
elegance. Soft tannins and balanced fruit. Approachable, but with a very long ageing potential.
Barolo is a great wine, which should not be described as a "basic" or "regular" Barolo, simply because it does not have any additional indication on the label.
Wine Advocate

The 2018 Barolo opens to ripe aromas of dried plum and tobacco. This vintage lacks some of the complexity of a cooler growing season, but these results are far from monochromatic. Those tobacco aromas cede to cedar, earth, forest floor and hints of shaved truffle.
Wine Enthusiast

Underbrush, hazelnut and new leather aromas come to the forefront along with a whiff of eucalyptus. Linear and already accessible, the palate offers toasted nut, dried cherry and licorice before a coffee close. Polished, refined tannins provide support. Drink through 2028.
