"This is a classic Barolo produced in a more forward accessible style making it a good choice for drinking now and over the next 5-7 years. Lovely bouquet on the nose showing typical Nebbiolo aromas of red fruits and roses; has the famous Barolo tannins on the palate but is very accessible and shows very fine fruit. A great introduction to this great wine."
