Barolo DOCG Tradizionale – 2000

This rich, elegant and refined red wine spends over 3 years in the cellar in small-medium oak barrels before its release. The finished product is a marvellously bright garnet red with orange hues. Floral fragrances, including roses and violets, stand out on its rich, varied bouquet, offset by slightly spicy overtones. Its decidedly powerful, full-bodied taste immediately shows just the right mix of acidity and tannins, while more patient palates will enjoy its rich, dry, velvety finish dominated by almonds. It is best served with strong flavours: roast and braised meats, and game in general, and is a fantastic match for risottos, especially when seasoned with truffle.

Producer: Cascina Monastero, Piedmont
