Tasting Notes:
Although from relatively young vines, this Roero is as good as many Barolo and Barbaresco wines that command significantly higher prices. It is elegant yet has very good concentration and the wood is expertly integrated - looking back at old notes, I see Fabrizio changes his wood regime according to the vintage. Subtleties abound in this delicious wine which is already approachable but has a good life ahead.
