Notes from Kerin O'Keefe:

"This nose is rather closed but the firm palate offers ripe sour cherry, dark cooking spice, pipe tobacco and chopped herb. Fresh acidity and youthfully austere but refined tannins provide the backbone. Drink after 2019."

Austere yet smooth, strong and balanced. Elegant, with soft and sweet tannins.

This bottle, Alessandro Rivetto Barolo Serralunga, fits with red meat course, game and hard or matured cheese. Highly recommended with food enriched with truffles.
