Description: produced by the rockstar wine producer if the Barbaresco wine zone.  Garnet in color, with immediate rich and complex aroma with racy violet, rose, black cherry, and dark licorice complemented by notes of white pepper, cloves, and soft leather.  An intriguing mineral character adds to the bouquet.  Full and mouth coated on entry and through the mid-palate, the wine shows layers of ripe, dark and juicy fruits, black cherry, plum and sweet blueberry.  Laser-perfect balance of acidity and tannin, giving freshness and incredible length to the finish.
