Costa di Bussia - Luigi Arnulfo | Barolo DOCG
Red wine | Italy, PIEMONTE | 2017
Once the wine has evolved, one distinguishes a color with orange nuances that are typical of Nebbiolo. It is a structured wine with quite a lot of, yet elegant, tannins. At a young age, the tannins have a grainy structure but become softer and softer as the years go by. Aromas of blackcurrant, strawberry, red currant, violets, mint, and truffle. If the wine is consumed before it reaches 10 years of age, it absolutely must be decanted.
