Nose: A captivating and complex bouquet, with aromas of dried roses, violets, and earthy truffle. There are also notes of dried red fruits (such as cherries, raspberries), leather, tobacco, and hints of spice (cinnamon, cloves). The wine may also show balsamic, cedar, and smoky undertones, adding depth to the aroma.
Palate: Silky and well-structured, with soft and integrated tannins. The palate is layered with flavours of dried red berries, leather, forest floor, and earthy truffle. Nuances of liquorice, tar, and subtle balsamic notes emerge as the wine evolves on the palate. The acidity remains fresh, offering balance and elegance despite the wine’s age.
Finish: Long and refined, with lingering notes of dried fruit, leather, and fine spices. The wine’s finish is marked by an elegant minerality, characteristic of Barolo’s terroir.
