The Barolo is a robust red--very dry and full bodied, high in tannin, acidty, and alcohol.

The aroma suggests tar, violets, roses, ripe strawberries, and truffles.Their flavor is thick and complex. Some are flowery - violets, roses. Others are fruit, licorice, or oaky.

Once you have experienced good examples of this wine, you will begin to understand its nobility.

It is often described as a chewey wine. When Barolo is produced in the traditional rustic style it can be hard when young. When it is aged properly and given time to mellow the harsh elements begin to soften and reveal many layers of complexity.

Barolo should be drunk at 60F and can age for 15-20 years.
