Description

2012 Barolo, Pira, Vecchie Viti, Roagna, Piedmont, ItalyThe concentration and density of this wine are evident from the outset. Tightly packed structural elements support the rich, scented, and dark fruit. The tannins are gloriously silky, and the cooling acidity provides a perfect counterpoint. This wine will reward patience. Berry Bros. & Rudd
