This Barolo, Manzone 2020 presents a deep ruby colour with clear clarity. With the nose, I’m greeted by a medium plus intensity of earthy and mushroom aromas, showcasing the wine’s fully developed state. On the palate, the body is medium plus, with a velvety feel and flavours of prune, earth, and leather, supported by medium acidity and a medium alcohol level. The finish is medium in length, with a dry sweetness.
