Tasting Notes: This Barolo exhibits an enticing perfume of rose and cherry, with a wet forest accent. Juicy and harmonious, with everything in the right proportion, ending with an aftertaste of sweet fruit and mineral. A 2007 expression of Nebbiolo. Best from 2014 through 2035. 500 cases made.

Rich and dark, with layers of dark fruit, spices and menthol that swirl around in the glass. The Gattera shows gorgeous juiciness and thrust from the old vines in this site, along with sensual, balsamic tones that add further complexity. Broad, incisive tannins frame the authoritative finish. Anticipated maturity: 2012-2022.
