Winemaker's Notes
Color: Concentrated, bright Garnet.
Bouquet: Violet, roses, leather, tar with balsamic overtones, black fruit characteristics and notes of Alba truffle.
Taste: Classic Vigna Rionda Barolo flavours of black cherry and other dark fruits, with spicy notes and even a hint of black olive. A very powerful and long-lived wine, with a massive structure combined with extreme elegance.
Pairings: Stews, red meats and darker game such as wild boar. Deep thought.
