Pretty, floral nose, also offering mushroomy sous-bois notes that give this a real nebbiolo feel from the outset. Full-bodied with firm, fine tannins that are very polished and anchor the wine nicely. Love the focus here. This will need lots of time to evolve and meld together. Try from 2025.

The 2018 Barolo Romirasco is light in body and also slightly forward in its flavor profile. Dark cherry, coffee, leather, smoke, spice and dried flowers all show a bit more evolution than is typical in a young Barolo. I would not push my luck on aging.
