About tasting: This intense ruby-red wine gives off the very distinct aroma that marks its two big brothers, Barbaresco and Barolo; full-bodied and strongly structured, its tannin is marked but agreeable, and it gives off its best at the table, as it is the perfect accompaniment for good food. A wine of character for the whole meal, it is most at home with pasta dishes dressed with meat sauces and with meat-based main dishes. |
