Tasted by Michaela Morris.
With 180 members cultivating 300ha, the large Vite Colte cooperative proposes several Barolo.
While the Essenze line is reserved for individual village bottlings, Paesi Tuoi is a synthesis of the denomination.
It is a value-driven, immediately accessible and attractive offering. Potpourri, crushed allspice, liquorice and mint greet the nose.
Midweight with notable flavour intensity, caressing tannins give definition to supple red and black berries.
A surprising injection of brisk acidity wakes up the palate and enlivens the spicy finish.
