BAROLO DOCG CERRETTA RISERVA

Bright garnet-red colour. Hints of rose and geranium, white pepper and wild berries; a broad and complex aromatic spectrum. On the palate it is majestic yet balanced, with luscious and vibrant tannins. The finish is exceptionally long and mineral. A wine with remarkable ageing potential.
