In 2019, lower yields of Nebbiolo grapes allowed Barolo producers to create remarkably structured red wines intended for long-term aging. Among the limited bottles still available from this vintage, Diego Pressenda's La Torricella "Barbadelchi" library release truly shines. Just remember, this rare opportunity to secure your share at enormous savings will only be available until the small inventory runs out!

Tasting Notes
This Barolo presents aromas of fruit, such as cantaloupe and watermelon. Fresh and delicate to the nose, it has sweet aromas of wood and coffee grounds. The soft, round tannins are supported by a pleasing fruity taste and spices, including cinnamon and clove. The wine is complex and ever-changing in the glass with a long, elegant finish. With a garnet-red color, the orange prevails over time. The "king of wines and wine of the kings" pairs with aged blue cheeses, truffles, and roasted or stewed red meats.
