Reflective of the warm vintage, the 2011 Barolo opens to dark garnet intensity over a mid-weight consistency that veers slightly toward the heftier and richer side of the Nebbiolo spectrum. The bouquet produces a generous flow of dark berry aromas followed by spice, tobacco, prune and ripe fruit. This is a soft and accessible Barolo. Some 13,000 bottles were made. The blend of fruit comes from La Morra, Castiglione Falletto and Serralunga d'Alba.
