Casetta – Riserva 2011 – Barolo 

The nose is aromatic and racy. It reveals notes of wild berries, racy minerality, garrigue and small notes of small red fruits associated with hints of Sichuan pepper, nutmeg and discreet toasted hints. The palate is fruity, well-balanced and offers a good definition, suavity, fat, roundness, a fine unctuosity, a good guideline, a small juiciness, tension, gourmandise as well as a fine acidulous frame. On the palate this wine expresses notes of fleshy raspberry and fleshy red cherry associated with small touches of fleshy wild red berries, fleshy blackberries as well as discreet hints of cassis, flowers, garrigue and spices. Tannins are fine and well-built. Good persistence (with notes of fleshy fruits).
