Barolo DOCG San Giovanni
Barolo DOCG San Giovanni
San Giovanni is a historic vineyard owned by the Broccardo family. Right balance between acidity, tannins and structure, with a good persistent and long-lived finish, which typically reflects the characteristics of the Monforte area. A Barolo with fruity and spicy aromas, with notes of chocolate alternating with balsamic notes. In the mouth it is perceived as a wine that wants and must represent the best, which takes time to fully express itself.
