Ample rose, cherry and raspberry flavors highlight this rich, powerful Barolo. This is shaded by leather and mineral notes, with dense tannins providing the framework. Balanced and long. Best from 2022 through 2039.

The 2013 Barolo Tradizione opens to medium color intensity and a ruby-garnet color. This is a classically-styled Barolo from a classic vintage that showed a long growing season for slow and steady ripening of fruit (that Nebbiolo loves). This is a tonic and firm wine with a good amount of inner tension and energy within. The bouquet is a bit muddled at this young stage but the wine should iron itself out with a another year or two of bottle aging.
