Grapes: Nebbiolo

The Barolo DOCG Monserra, obtained from Nebbiolo grapes from Monforte and Serralunga d'Alba, is presented for the 2012 harvest of a garnet red color, very consistent in the glass; the olfactory bouquet is intense, ample and generous if left open: red fruit in the first place, ripe plums and blackberries, dried violet, with a following of more evolved aromas of cinnamon, black pepper, tobacco and truffle. Soft and concentrated in the mouth, it expresses great depth and complexity, with round tannins and a good note of freshness and flavor: overall balanced and symmetrical, it gives a long and persistent finish.
