The palate is as fresh as a daisy

A lightly menthol-infused nose that is exceptionally ripe yet stops short of being surmature remains almost 100% primary with ample black fruit and spice aromas seamlessly merging into the rich

GD Vajra, Barolo Ravera other_regions_italy earth and anise plus aMore structured than the Bricco delle Viole, this comes from a 2. 2 hectare, south and south east facing vineyard and is a first release.
