Tasting notes
La Morra. A blend of all of the estate's vineyards. Medium ruby with orange rim. Very round, almost lifted, amarene cherry. Finely structured and surprisingly easy going. (WS)

The 2001 Barolo Monfalletto, the estate's entry-level Barolo, displays a delicate nose of flowers, spices, toasted oak and menthol. It is a very pretty and feminine Barolo that offers red fruits on the palate with good persistence and the graceful elegance that exemplifies Barolo from La Morra. This will provide good early and mid-term drinking.

(aged in one-third new, one-third once-used, and one-third twice-used barriques Bright medium red. Pretty aromas of cassis, black cherry and violet; has the lift of a fresh fruit punch. Densely packed but juicy, with perfumed flavors of dark berries, spices and flowers. Supple wine that's almost deceptively approachable today due to its lovely balance. Finishes with rich, broad tannins and excellent length.
