NOTES FROM VINOVOSS SOMMELIER
On the nose, it offers a captivating bouquet of dried roses, violets, and red fruits, accompanied by earthy notes of truffle, leather, and tobacco.These aromas evolve and become more pronounced with age, adding layers of complexity to the wine.
On the palate, Gagliasso Riserva Barolo showcases a full-bodied and well-structured profile. It has firm but well integrated tannins that provide a solid backbone, which is characteristic of Barolo wines. The flavors are rich and concentrated, with notes of ripe cherries, plums, licorice, and spices. The wine exhibits a long and persistent finish, dedicated to red fruit and a hint of leather.
Due to its aging potential, Gagliasso Riserva Barolo benefits from being decanted before serving to allow the wine to fully express its aromas and flavors. Best enjoyed after several years in bottle.
