Ruby-red with garnet highlights, it has a sumptuous bouquet, with clear-cut overtones of ripe plums, tobacco, mint, rosemary, cinnamon and dried mushrooms. Very dense, closely-woven tannins give the taste a well-knit sensation, together with softness and balance.
At this point ageing begins in barrels (2,000 – 14,000 litres). After the second year, the wine stays in the bottle for a further period before consuming. This further refines the tannins without increasing the wine’s woodiness, achieving the right balance between the aromas of the grapes and the wood.
A truly full-bodied and powerful wine, obtained from grapes grown in the Lazzarito vineyard, a vitally important cru for the production of Barolo situated in the township of Serralunga d'Alba. Featuring typical ruby red hues shot through with garnet glints, this wine expresses itself through a focused fragrance containing vanilla, spice, woodland scents and faded rose. On the palate the taste is dry but mellow nonetheless, pleasantly velvety and harmonious, with a generously persistent finale. A superb wine for accompanying ambitious dishes with a flourish of quality and tradition.
Ideal with big red meat dishes and medium or mature cheeses, it also provides pleasant company for after-dinner conversation.
