Gianni Gagliardo 'Monvigliero', Barolo DOCG, Italy 2019

Taut chalky and talc minerality kicks off on the first nose. Bright strawberries and cherries on a blazing lavender, carnation, tulip flowers bouquet. In the background lean scents of balsamic dried bay leaf, lichen, wet black musk and eucalypt. A layer of tannins leaves grip but it stays fresh and long on the finish with lingering accents of fruit and mineral.
