Giovanni Corino Barolo Riserva 2017 DOCG

A Barolo Riserva DOCG from Giovanni Corino, made from Nebbiolo grown in the Annunziata area of La Morra. The vineyards there give a powerful fruit dense in aroma. Fermentation is finished and the wine matured in French oak barriques, 80% of them new, which rounds the tannins and builds complexity. The structure is important, with mature acidity and tannins that suit rich dishes such as wild boar cacciatora. The colour is ruby red with garnet reflections. The bouquet is elegant and complex, with violets and sour cherries alongside toasted and cocoa notes. The palate is muscular and deep, creamy, with firm, mature tannins and a long, clean, almond-tinged finish.
