A Barolo of classic style, of body and elegance, of structure and harmony, with soft tannins and a right fruit, austere but persuasive. Long life. Barolo is a great wine by itself and should not be diminished in its value with the name of "base" or "generic" only because no vineyard or sub-area is indicated on the label.
