2006 Giovanni Sordo Barolo Perno Castiglione Falletto Riserva

 14% abv

Raised in Slavonian oak botti
Southeastern vineyard orientation at 325m above sea level.
Irresistible deep black cherry palate with accents of earth, sottobosco and goudron. Lengthy finish that explodes with lip smackingly delicious, finely burnished tannins. With extended aeration,  an alluring nose of violets develops.
Wonderful now with air, peaking in another 3 to 5 years.
First time I've come across this producer. This is an excellent Riserva Barolo.
