Very typical barolo. Nice tannins. Rich ruby color. Nice acidity. Enjoyed it with a classic Piedmont eggy pasta dish made with tagliolini pasta made with lemon zest, course ground black pepper and parm cheese. It was yummy and the wine was the X factor

Tour of Italy Tasting Workshop at Corkbuzz Chelsea Market.

A powerhouse Barolo that is starting to shed its youth. Basil and thyme notes, with high acidity and high tannin. Pairs well with Grana Padano cheese or anything with mushroom flavors.
