Wine Enthusiast, 90 Points 

"Cinnamon, clove, and a hint of black pepper – these dark spices are the secret weapons in this Barolo's flavor arsenal. Baked plums and roasted blackberries join forces to create a warmed, earthy fruit profile that's as comforting as it is exciting. The fleshy, rounded texture is like a trusty sidekick, ensuring a solid and satisfying finish." 

Winemaker Notes: 

"A wine not to be missed. It comes from a cru in Castiglione Falletto in the heart of the Barolo region. The grapes which grow in the vineyard located to the south east yield a wine with a fine, prominent bouquet and an excellent texture: an elegant and exquisite partner for the demanding palate. Its highly balanced character makes it a Barolo which is ready immediately after the traditional ageing period of three years in an oak barrels."
