Fontanafredda Barolo La Rosa 2007 750ml

Ruby red color with garnet reflexes. Its delicate, though intense nose, is expansive with overtones of withered roses, violets, tobacco, underbrush, spices and a slight touch of vanilla. Dense, closely-woven tannins show on the palate, which starts out smooth and velvety and then explodes with fruit, nicely balanced by a sharp freshness. The wine has a long aftertaste packed with flavor.
