The color is remarkable: a deep, blood-ruby with no hint of garnet hues that are often present even in young Barolo. The bouquet is only periphally floral, the fruit dominated by a density that is somehow perceived before the wine is tasted. The concentration betrays its sweetness and soft, fragrant wealth. The mouth feel is immediately captivating: the texture is full and deep, the richness monopolizing the palate at first, and then releasing it to the sensations of complexity hidden beneath its youth.
