Earthy, Floral & Elegant

Balsamic aromatic mixture of roses, tar, anise, cocoa beans & forest floor earth.

Flavors of dried red & black fruits & cocoa.

Full-bodied with pronounced tannins & high acidity.

A big, complex wine for paring with full-flavored earthy foods.

Bone dry but less tannic than Barolo.

Good potential to improve with age in the bottle & riservas require even more time to soften.
