Stroppiana 2009 Vigna San Giacomo (Barolo)

Country: Italy / Vigna San Giacomo
Variety: Nebbiolo Piedmont
Winery: Stroppiana / Barolo

This Barolo reflects the difficult 2009 vintage with its combination of overripe and green sensations. The palate has some dark cherry flavor, but also a green, astringent character and a warm midpalate, while the finish is bitter and drying.
