Barolo RISERVA DOCG, which is considered one of the best Italian wines, presents a deep garnet red colour with shades that make it full and intense, due to the long ageing. On the nose, this is a fruity wine: raspberry, vanilla and cherry notes stand up among a variety of fragrances. It’s a structured wine with an excellent length. In spite of its strength, it proves to be very balanced. Bottle aging is excellent: over the years many flavors will rouse.
