Barolo Francia 2018, Giacomo Conterno
Profile of extreme elegance and finesse. On the nose, small red fruits, rose petals, graphite, and balsamic hints emerge. On the palate, it is vibrant, with a very dense and sculptural tannin that blends with a noble freshness; the finish is savory, long, and of rare nobility.
