Ciabot Berton – Roggeri 2012 – Barolo

The nose is fruity, aromatic, relatively full and offers a slight gourmandise. It reveals notes of ripe redcurrant, raspberry, cassis and a discreet hint of plum associated with discreet hints of zan, black olive, spices, truffle as well as a subtle hint of crushed strawberry, racy minerality and an imperceptible hint of tea. The palate is fruity, fresh, well-balanced, racy and offers a racy minerality, suavity, straightness as well as a very slight unctuosity. In the mouth this wine expresses notes of fresh raspberry, juicy red berries and a hint of cassis associated with slight touches of toasted oak as well as a subtle hint of coffee, truffle and mocha. Tannins are fine and slightly dusty. Good length. The finish is gourmande and suave.
