This 2018 Barolo reveals a complex bouquet of red cherry, raspberry, rose petals, and violet, intertwined with classic Nebbiolo notes of tar, liquorice, and earthy undertones like forest floor and dried herbs. Hints of subtle spice (clove, star anise) emerge from careful oak aging. On the palate, it is medium to full-bodied with a firm structure, characterized by high, grippy tannins and vibrant acidity. The flavors echo the aromatics, focusing on tart red fruits like cranberry and sour cherry, evolving into savory and mineral dimensions of mushroom, truffle, and tobacco. The finish is long, dry, and structured, leaving a lingering impression of savory minerality and spice.
