Opened but did not need to decant. Paired with a garlic-balsamic seared pork chop, olive rice, and asparagus. Light, pale red with a brown hue. The floral nose brings cherry blossoms, lavender, red roses, and some petrol notes. The palate is medium, round, juicy, and lively, bring a solid core of red fruit (cherries, raspberries, strawberries) mixed with some black licorice, Manhattan bitters, and some anise. The finish is refined and not overly tannic. I found this fresh and drinkable for the age, so should be enjoyable 2022-2032. Technical score: 92. Enjoyment score: 93.

Not a Barolo fan, especially young, but this one keeps me coming back. It might be the touch of sweetness on the palate. The wine isn't for the traditionalists. I agree with the reviewer below, it's more of a Pinot lover's Barolo. No harsh tannins or tar in its infancy, just a lovely wine. Purchased thanks to Giacomo's recommendation at Enoteca Costantini, Rome. Hope to find more at the store in November.
Decanted for three hours. Very light, transparent, brick color. Very strong tannins. Smell of red fruits and roses. At first was getting strawberry notes and later transitioned to cherry notes. Cocoa on the finish. Beautiful wine.
