The 1997 Barolo Case Nere displays an intriguing perfume of hickory/barbecue smoke intermixed with tar, rose water, black cherries, toffee, and maple syrup. Full-bodied, with large volume, a plush, multilayered texture, low acidity, and a boatload of glycerin, it is a thick, succulent Barolo to consume now and over the next 12-15+ years.
No known American importer.
