Sommelier's Tasting Profile

Expect a deep garnet hue with characteristic autumnal reflections. The complex bouquet of this Barolo offers exquisite depth and classic austerity:

• Dried Rose, Violets, and Geranium
• Morello Cherry Preserve and Dark Fruit
• Distinct notes of Tar, Tobacco, and Earth

A wine of magnificent structure, the palate is defined by its firm, yet elegant, tannins and a superb, age-defining acidity. The finish is lengthy, spicy (cinnamon), and deeply rewarding, a clear expression of its Monforte d'Alba origins.

Food Matching & Decanting

This wine requires significant air to soften its edges; decant for a minimum of two hours. It is superb with classic British and Italian winter fare:

• Slow-Cooked Lamb Shank in Red Wine
• Venison Pie or Game Terrine
• Mature, hard cheeses such as Mature Cheddar or Stilton

Recommended serving temperature: 17°C.
