Barolo, Torriglione, 2013

A linear, tight knit structure provides solid foundations to the wonderfully lush, full fruit. Fruity black and red forest berry with notes of Morello and faint sweet spice touches. Composed and complete. This used to be blended with Rocche dell Annunziata but as of 2010 will be bottled up separately in magnums and released a year later than the other Cru Barolos. From a small hill in the Barolo commune that produces, powerful classically-styled Barolos. Like the Sarmassa the wine is aged slightly differently to the other crus, for 24 months in 30% new oak barriques rather than in a mixture of barriques and 20hl wooden vats
