This Barolo shows an intense ruby red color and nuances of garnet red,
little transparency. The nose reveals intense, clean, pleasing, refined and
elegant aromas which start with hints of cherry, violet and plum followed
by aromas of rose, blackberry, vanilla, licorice, tobacco, cinnamon,
menthol, cocoa and thyme. The mouth has good correspondence to the nose, a
tannic attack and pleasing crispness, however balanced by alcohol, full
body, intense flavors, good tannins. The finish is persistent with flavors
of cherry and plum. A well made wine. Barolo Vigna del Gris ages for 24
months in barrique followed by 12 months of aging in bottle.
