AZELIA

Barolo 2018

A successful mix of grapes from 7 single vineyards, located between Castiglione Falletto and Serralunga, which is joined, by tradition, a part of the grapes of the cru dedicated to the Reserve, Bricco Voghera. Plants of 50 years, beautiful nuances of black raspberry on the nose, with touches of Valdostan mint and undergrowth. The taste is crisp, with savory-salty tannins.
