Casetta Nicolello Barolo Riserva 2009

An exceptional and beautifully matured Italian red wine that highlights the depth of a classic vintage. The palate opens with an expressive array of dried cherry, baked plum, and fig, shifting into tertiary complexities of leather, tobacco leaf, tar, and forest floor. It features a full-bodied, velvety texture balanced by fine, fully integrated tannins and a lasting line of traditional acidity. The finish is remarkably long, warm, and accented by lingering notes of spice and dried herbs.

Food Pairing: Pairs well with braised beef, roasted wild game, white truffle risotto, and aged hard cheeses.
