With the vintage 2014 Barolos from the Serralunga area express the triumph of precision over power, showing a great wine with exceptional finesse, elegance and long-term potential. No words needed to describe who Bruno Giacosa was and what his wines represent today in the piedmont scene.
Showing a great luminous red with subtle garnet reflections at the rim of the glass, the colour was exceptionally good for an almost 12 yo wine.
The nose opened with a deep, layered and elegant bouquet with notes of mature red fruits (red cherry, wild strawberry jam and raspberry), dried rose petals, violet, sweet tobacco, graphite, light hints of truffle and licorice root.
What strikes most is how harmonious and elegant it is to the palate! It has ultra fine tannins, vibrant acidity and medium body. Its intensely persistent showing extraordinary balance between fruit purity and savory complexity. To the palate notes of black tea and a slight note of umani emerge adding extra complexity, depth and enhancing the aromas already revealed to the nose.
