Crafted from fruit sourced from a variety of vineyards including cru Cerretta in Serralunga, Monvigliero in Verduno, and Roncaglie in La Morra, the grapes are hand-selected after harvest, and then aged for 36 months in a combination of 1600 liter French oak casks and 400 liter tonneaux. Consistent with Mauro’s 2019 Baroli, this wine is pale and light in its garnet hue, initially showing a very compact and unexpressive character. But with time, it comes out of its shell revealing Morello cherry, mentholated red raspberry, spices and rose water packaged in a powerful, laser focused elixir.
Notes of tuffaceous dust and sappy cedar emerge with time in the glass, as its sexy, outhcoating palate shows an ever-so-slightly candied aspect, yet it remains bone dry. The palate is amazingly weightless, checking in at zero gravity! This is a superb cocktail of fruit, acid and silky tannin with a long future and will be entertaining to follow its evolution in the coming years.
