Description
The "Terre del Barolo" winery is located in the valley running between Alba and Barolo, on the right at the turning off for Castiglione Falletto. lt brings together around four hundred growers, who own approximately 650 hectares of the Great Vineyards of the Langa, in the villages of Grinzane Cavour, Serralunga, Monforte d‘Alba, Diano d‘Alba, Barolo, Novello, La Morra, Verduno, Roddi and Castiglione Falletto.
From the good 1998 vintage this is a traditional Barolo. Restrained dusty earthy nose, not too vibrant in the mouth, with mostly resolved but very sticky grabbing tannins. But it did open up a bit and interestingly showed some berry candy fruit. Fairly structured.
