Description
Roberto Sarotto Barolo DOCG 2018
Roberto Sarotto Barolo is one of the flagships of Piedmontese enology. Intense garnet red colour with orange reflections. Ethereal and complex aromas of ripe red fruit, crushed violets and spices. The dry and full-bodied palate is robust with a velvety mouthfeel, well-integrated and polished tannins. Intense flavours of ripe red cherries, prunes, vanilla, leather and a hint of anise spice on the finish.
Ageing potential: Drink now or keep for up till 15 years from vintage!
