Fresher red berries here, such as raspberries and goji berries, together with leafy and nutty notes. Medium-bodied with a good core of sweet fruit and firm tannins that frame the wine nicely in the mid-palate. A fresh, elegant expression of Barolo. Needs a bit of time for the tannins to smoothen and the finish to lengthen. Nicely poised.

Very Pinot-like, this red exudes cherry, raspberry, rose and spice flavors, with gamy hints on the nose and palate. Though silky, this has a solid spine of dense tannins, with the eucalyptus and tar notes bringing this squarely back to Barolo territory.
