Cascina Gavetta - Barolo Corini - Pallaretta 2019

Wine: Barolo Corini - Pallaretta comes from vineyards whose altitude and cooler climate give it a strong identity. The aromas are broad and enveloping, from fruity notes to spices. On the palate, it is a Barolo with great structure and powerful characteristics: an elegant and austere Barolo.
