Bel Colle Barolo Simposio 2019

A premium and beautifully structured Italian red wine crafted during an exceptional vintage in the heart of Piedmont. The palate opens with an intense and traditional profile of sour red cherry, wild raspberry, and dark plum, harmoniously integrated with sophisticated notes of licorice, tar, forest floor, and wild dried herbs. It possesses a full-bodied texture framed by firm, muscular tannins and a vibrant core of refreshing acidity. The finish is remarkably long, clean, and carrying a savory, elegant depth.

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

Notes of redcurrants and ripe cherries with ground spices, orange peel, bay leaves and cedar. Medium- to full-bodied with chewy tannins and vivid acidity. Dry, earthy finish. Try after 2027.
