  From young vines. Light transparent brick red. Delicious aromas of dark red berries, herbs, tar, coffee and some eucalyptus. Light weighted and lifted on the palate, with fine tannins.

  What a joyful Barolo to drink young! Immediately on opening a nose of flowers, roses, brick dust and strawberries.
  In the mouth it’s persistent with mouth-coating youthful super-fine tannins. Tingling acidity and structure with vibrant red fruit and an impressive length. Elegant and powerful- lifted and punchy- really pleasurable right now but with loads of complex notes that will develop as it ages.
