Barolo, Brunate, 2011

Brooding, sweet fruit with a strong earthy complexity. Gripping, tight and layered with a tannic spine giving structure but a balancing sweet red and dark berry fruitiness on the finish. Additional complex notes of liquorice and cinnamon make for a wonderfully complete Barolo that is as high toned as it is profound. One of the top Cru vineyards of Barolo, situated high up in the La Morra commune. Aged in 25% new oak barriques for 24 months, however the intensity and power of this wine mean that the oak influence on it is minimal.
