NOTES FROM VINOVOSS SOMMELIER

This Barolo from the Ceretto family is a remarkably complex and structured wine.The nose is full of floral notes of rose, violet, and hints of cherry, with underlying aromas of licorice and spice. On the palate, intense tannins are balanced with juicy red fruits, dried herbs and wild mushrooms. The finish is long, with a lingering hint of licorice. This is a wine that will only improve with time in the bottle. Enjoy now or cellar for a few years for even greater complexity and pleasure.
