Cascina Dardi, Alessandro E Gian Natale Fantino – Bussia 2012, Riserva – Barolo

The nose is fruity, precise, slightly tight and offers a small intensity. It reveals notes of fleshy cassis, black cherry and small notes of purple plum associated with touches of violet, Cuben pepper and very discreet hint of nutmeg. The palate is fruity, well-balanced and offers a good definition, juiciness, a fine tension, precision, a beautiful suavity / gourmandise, an acid frame as well as a fine straightness. On the palate this wine expresses notes of juicy / fleshy cassis, fleshy / juicy raspberry and small notes of fleshy / juicy purple plum associated with very slight hints of juicy black cherry as well as an imperceptible hint of flowers, sense of the place / local vegetations and liquorice / cocoa. Tannins are very discreetly dry. Good length.
