- Organoleptic characteristics
The typicality of this Barbaresco is shown by the elegant and refined nose and palate. It has a red ruby colour with slight shades of garnet. The wine has a very delicate aroma, well-balanced with hints of ripe red fruit, spices and violet. A marly soil containing 15-20% of fine sand and an East exposure, give to our Barbaresco a refine and elegant tannin, already well integrated after a couple of months of bottle.
Complex, but never "complicated"
