Cru Select Italian Barolo

Deep red in colour and aggressive in structure, this full bodied dry wine has many fans. Intense flavours of violets, cherries and cocoa are set firmly against a backdrop of silky, yet firm tannins.  Undertones of toasted oak dominate the long finish along with dark fruit and firm acidity.  This traditional bold wine compliments fettuccine Bolognese, roast pork with garlic and rosemary, brie and camembert.
