Tenuta Carretta 2009 Cascina Ferrero (Barolo)

Country: Italy / Cascina Ferrero

Winery: Tenuta Carretta / Barolo

This is initially rather closed but eventually reveals underbrush, ripe black cherry, plum, prune, mushroom, dried rose petals, licorice and black pepper sensations. It’s warm and already accessible but give the ripe tannins time to integrate fully. Drink 2016–2024.
