2013 Monchiero Barolo Riserva (Rocche di Castiglione)

Aromas of rose petal, underbrush, grilled herbs, game, and a touch of balsamic emerge upon nosing this wine. The palate, robust and full-bodied, features nuances of baking spices mingling with rich flavours of ripe morello cherries and raspberries, bordering on overripe. The wine is structured with close-grained tannins, leading to a bold finish. It is nearly ready to enjoy.

Recommended drinking period is from 2021 through 2028.
