Tasting notes
Apprezzo i profumi di bacche dolci, ed i toni floreali sullo sfondo. Corpo pieno, tannini rotondi e morbidi, finale lungo e saporito. Non toccatelo sino al 2014.

The 2006 Barolo is a pretty, classy wine perfect for drinking over the next decade or so. Initially rather soft and supple, it firms up nicely with air, as dark red fruit, spices and grilled herbs come together in the glass. It is lovely effort at this level.

Anticipated maturity: 2010-2021. This is a wonderful set of new releases from proprietor Giuliano Corino, one of La Morra’s finest growers.

Deep ruby-red. Ripe aromas of cherry, raspberry, leather and rose petal. Lush, sweet and intense, with very good energy and grip for a basic Barolo. Nicely integrated acidity extends the spicy finish.
