Product name Barolo Gabutti 2019
Color The colour is not too dark ruby red with garnet hints.
Perfume The bouquet is distinctly classic with hints of vegetable tar, spicy spices and a fruitiness that is almost like sour cherries under spirits; then at the end comes a very delicate hint of rose and violet.
Taste Even in the mouth come the notes of an extinguished fireplace, of ashes that lead to a sweet, syrupy taste of raspberry and cherry; the tannins are thick and ripe with a vitality and exuberance that this land gives it. These are tannins that lead to an evolution of aromas, guaranteeing that they will last for a very long time.
Pairings Meat, game, aged cheeses.

The Boasso farm was founded immediately after the war in the 1950s after Giuseppe returned from World War II to resume managing his lands.
