Impressive even from the cork. Bright, light, yet sophisticated blood-like ruby colour very much coincides with equally complex aroma reminiscing of the great Barolo. Strawberry, raspberry and earthy notes with blood-like volcanic minerality and oaky undertone. It has a slightly salty sensation in its fruity flavours which integrated very well with its high ripe mouthful tannins and equally high balancing fresh acidity. Finish is long, fruity, and bloody all at the same time. A very high quality exceptional wine! Drink now but it will still benefit from further aging.
