fresh and relatively cool nose combines notes of apple

plum and plenty of pungent earth

A discreet touch of reduction still allows the earthy red berry and black cherry aromas to express themselves

with little racking

The finish is soft and luscious

Giovanni Manzone, Barolo Bricat other_regions_italy fresh and relatively cool noseGood full red. Sweet aromas of plum, marzipan and musky, truffley underbrush. Sweet on entry, then quite vinous in the middle palate, showing more shape, penetration and thrust than the Gramolere. A nicely structured, juicy wine that finishes with sweet but firm building tannins and noteworthy persistence. Stephen Tanzer
