Tenimenti Famiglia Cavallero 2009 La Fenice (Barolo)

Country: Italy / La Fenice
Variety: Nebbiolo Piedmont
Winery: Tenimenti Famiglia Cavallero / Barolo

This straightforward Barolo opens with aromas of rose, leather and menthol. The palate doles out sour cherry, crushed raspberry, cinnamon, clove and grilled sage alongside velvety tannins. There’s not much complexity but it’s savory and already enjoyable. Drink through 2019.
