The Barolo Riserva, 2017 vintage with geographical mention San Giovanni is a wine with aging potential of which the first reserve was made. With a garnet red color, it is a wine that goes very well with tasty red meat and blue cheeses. Aromatic notes of currants, raspberries and strawberries are released in this medium-bodied wine, with well-extracted round tannins and a long finish.
