Tasting notes

Sweet strawberry and cherry aromas. Full-bodied, with chewy tannins and a long, flavorful finish. Focused, with clean, rich fruit, offering lots of dark berry notes. Powerful, but elegant on the palate, good structure, nice finish. Classic. "La Rosa” expresses the qualities of the Barolos grown in Serralunga d'Alba at their best, with a marked - almost feminine - concession to grace and softness in its flavour and bouquet. Ideal with big red meat dishes and medium or mature cheeses, it can also make for pleasant after-dinner company.
