"A restrained Barolo with garnet color, offering notes of dried cherries, dried orange peel and hints of cocoa and bark. Medium-bodied, compact and dense with velvety tannins. Shows rich fruit at the end. Delicate and supple. Already drinkable, but better after 2027."

"Rich and savory, this red evokes cherry, plum, bouillon, iron and underbrush aromas and flavors. Shows power, with dense tannins underlying it all. A bit rigid now yet should open with time. Best from 2028 through 2042. 800 cases made, 267 cases imported."

"A rich, caressing Barolo, with licorice overtones warming up cherry and plum flavors. Gains detail from iron, tar and menthol accents, remaining balanced and harmonious. Should be approachable soon. Best from 2025 through 2042. 900 cases made, 500 cases imported."
