    Red berry, underbrush, baking spice and leather aromas lead the nose. This is pretty straightforward by Barolo standards, offering morello cherry and light cinnamon flavors framed in firm tannins. Drink 2019–2025.

    The nose is still a bit closed but reveals woodland berry, toast, culinary spice, chopped herb and a hint of dried earth. The bracing palate offers raw red berry, powdered sage and star anise supported by astringent tannins and brisk acidity. Best after 2019.
