Country: Italy / Monvigliero Riserva
Variety: Nebbiolo Piedmont
Winery: Castello di Verduno / Barolo
Although this Riserva already has six years of age, it opens with surprisingly bright and youthful tones of cherry, blackberry and cassis. Those fruit aromas are folded within evident oak-driven aromas of spice and vanilla. The mouthfeel is firm, polished and this Barolo should age more years in the bottle.
