Wine Tenuta Montemagno, Soranus Barolo, 2012
Soft garnet red with Carmine hues. On the nose full, intense with hints of vanilla, liquorice, ancient spices, black pepper, cherry and wild berries. On the palate, it is full, complex, almost opulent power, balanced body with the right balance tannic and persistent sweet. Excellent notes of cocoa and butterfat, an aftertaste of ripe fruit.
Exceptional quality Barolo!
