Piedmont Pleaser: Tesoro della Regina Barolo

Tasting Notes

Bright garnet in the glass with ruby edges. Nose opens with cherry, red currant, cranberry, and a faint swirl of red plum. The palate is medium-full-bodied with firm tannins, lively acidity, red fruit core, subtle spice, hints of tar and forest floor. Leaner than big Barolo finds, but charmingly bold with approachable structure.
