"Wow. So perfumed and bright with pure strawberry, stone and cedar aromas. Full and chewy with powerful tannins and lots of character. Yet always focused and vibrant. Better in 2020 when the tannins soften a little."

Product Description:

"This wine is made from grapes grown on two famous vineyards, both in the commune of Barolo: Sarmassa and Preda. Combining grapes from these two vineyards produces a well-balanced, harmonious wine packed with the fresher, more elegant aromas of Sarmassa and the power of the body and structure provided by Preda.

Very deep ruby-red; still rather fresh nose, with hints of red berries steeped in delicate vanilla; dry, full taste, packed with body and structure combined with polyphenolic compounds that cater for lengthy ageing." - Winery
