Dark, muscular and brooding, the 2012 Barolo Riserva Gramolere wears its Riserva status well. It reveals a very dense fiber that is closely interwoven with blackberry, dried cherry, plum, spice and tobacco. The wine presents rich textural fiber that is backed by oak-driven sweetness and ripe fruit from a hot vintage. This wine is aged in tonneaux for 48 months.
