Alessandro Veglio 2011 Gattera (Barolo)

Country: Italy / Gattera
Variety: Nebbiolo Piedmont
Winery: Alessandro Veglio / Barolo

This offers aromas of oak, coconut and roasted coffee bean that carry over to the palate along with a hint of dried black cherry and a confectionary note. It lacks the fruit richness needed to stand up to the oak while raspy tannins give it an astringent finish.
