FONTANAFREDDA BAROLO LA ROSA 2008 750ML

Fine harmony and sweet cherry and berry flavors are the hallmarks of this rich Barolo. Licorice, spice and tobacco flavors add depth as it stays focused and persistent through the finish. The tannins are ripe and well-integrated. Best from 2015 through 2033.

Pure Nebbiolo fruit here that gives aromas and flavors of rose petal, light prunes and dried figs. Full body, with polished velvety tannins and a long caressingly textured finish. Drink now or hold. Beautiful balance.

The 2008 Barolo Vigna La Rosa is graceful and effortless. Soft, silky tannins support expressive red cherries, plums, flowers, spices and licorice. This feminine Barolo is best enjoyed over the next handful of years, but it has enough freshness for at least another decade-plus.

Aromas of porcini mushrooms and dried roses. Still a little closed, but it has fine structure and a long, juicy finish of liquorice and dried fruit.
