Castello di Verduno 2009 Monvigliero Riserva (Barolo)

Country: Italy / Monvigliero Riserva
Variety: Nebbiolo Piedmont
Winery: Castello di Verduno / Barolo

Powerfully built, this opens with a potpourri of aromas including pressed rose, violet, mature berry, baking spice and a whiff of leather. Dried black cherry, licorice, pipe tobacco, nutmeg and a balsamic note wrap around the gripping palate alongside a backbone of ripe, assertive tannins. Hold for even more complexity. Drink 2020–2032.
