This is from the upper part of the vineyard. -

March 30, 2018 - Balsamic notes, also some sweet red and dark red cherries, spices. Very balanced with medium-high but silky tannin, high acidity and good length. Slightly simpler than the other Barolos tasted during this excellent visit.

March 30, 2018 - Piemont Trip; 3/28/2018-4/1/2018 (Barbaresco, Barolo): Am Weingut parallel zu den anderen Baroli.
Eher hell in der Farbe, die Nase ist weniger ausdrucksstark als Castelletto. Am Gaumen sticht die Säure hervor, ich habe nicht den Eindruck, dass die Frucht auf Dauer mitkommt.
