Barolo D.O.C.G. Patres

History
Since the mid-nineteenth century, Barolo wine has been the symbol of our gorgeous land, well-known for its ability to open and express itself properly with time. Barolo D.O.C.G. Patres perfectly represents this land because it needs long refining in big Slavonian oak casks to develop its elegance and balance. This wine is for people who want to discover something new and for those who already love Barolo.

This opens with earthy aromas of tilled soil, leather and dark berry. The linear palate offers blackberry jam, cinnamon and clove alongside young austere tannins. Drink 2022-2027.
