Wine Advocate, 92 Points 

"The estate's 2000 Barolo Riserva reveals open, super-ripe aromatics and a soft core of dark fruit interwoven with sweet toasted oak. The wine is still fresh, even as it has started to develop more complex nuances in the bottle. This accessible, irresistible modern-styled wine offers a notable length and an engaging personality. It is an outstanding effort from Fontanafredda." 

Winemaker Notes: 

"Barolo Riserva is a wine offering great emotions: ruby highlights showing deep garnet red color, intense, clear-cut nose hints at black cherry, tobacco, dried mushrooms, spices, nutmeg and pepper, balsamic aromas, resin and mint. Sweet, velvety tannins blend nicely on its warm, smooth taste with fresh acidity." 

Alcohol: 13.5%
