The 2007 Barolo Riserva ages for five years in botte grande and barrique. The wine opens to spice and savory tobacco with some pressed fruit and dried cherry added to the middle. This Riserva boasts tertiary aromas of licorice and grilled herb that add to the overall complexity of the bouquet. In the mouth, it shows apparent sweetness and tannins that are soft and round. It should drink well for the next five to ten years.

Cherry and strawberry aromas and flavors start out on a soft texture, gaining structure toward the finish. This is elegant and firm, lingering with berry and mineral notes on the long aftertaste. Best from 2014 through 2030. 500 cases made, 125 cases imported.??–BS??Region: Italy / Piedmont / Barolo Select to Add
