This Barolo from Cordero di Montezemolo is a superb expression of the Nebbiolo grape. It is produced from grapes grown in the Bricco Gattera vineyard, located at the top of the Serralunga d'Alba commune in the heart of the Barolo DOCG. The wine offers a perfect balance of ripe fruit and floral aromas, with hints of rose petals, eucalyptus, and cherries. On the palate, it is full-bodied and powerful, yet elegantly structured, with ripe tannins and a long, persistent finish. A perfect accompaniment to roasted meats, game, and aged cheeses.
