Barolo

Barolo, which is made from 100 % Nebbiolo, is amoung the world's most fascinating wines because of its ability to develop a complex array of aromas.

When Barolos are young, typical aromas and flavors include roses, violets, dried flowers, anise, tar, new leather and prunes.

With age, barolos turn to more tertiary notes of dried flowers, poine, menthol, tar.
Barbaresco

Barbaresco, as Barolo also made from 100 % Nebbiolo, offers an aromatic and flavor profile similar to that of Barolo, but the wines are generally lighter in body and less structured.

Barbaresco is often more accessible than Barolo at a young age and tends to have a shorter aging curve (around 20 years).
