Giacomo Grimaldi 2011 Sotto Castello di Novello (Barolo)

Country: Italy / Sotto Castello di Novello
Variety: Nebbiolo Piedmont
Winery: Giacomo Grimaldi / Barolo

Woodland berry, pressed violet, dark cooking spice, truffle and new leather aromas unfold on this brawny wine. The full-bodied palate doles out ripe black cherry, ground pepper, licorice and tobacco accompanied by velvety tannins. It closes on notes of menthol and the warmth of alcohol. Drink 2018–2028.
