Crissante Barolo del Comune di La Morra 2016 Riserva

The wines from the Azienda Agricola Crissante Alessandria are born in the noble land of Langhe from native grapes. With the passing of the centuries, Nebbiolo, Barbera and Dolcetto have found their ideal environment in these harmonious and sunny hills where they can fully develop their enormous quality potential and their wonderful typicity. This Barolo from La Morra is textured and complex and elegant wine, comprising wines from three separate vineyards around the commune of La Morra, only 14,000 bottles were produced. 

Tasting Notes

The nose is all about focus, poise, full of cherry, sweet tobacco and cherry. The palate is complex and great freshness, evident hints of cherry and ripe strawberry with a background of dried apricot. All accompanied by pleasing tarry notes in the finish.

Food Pairing

This is a great contemplative wine and as such it can be enjoyed alone. Yet, it can be paired perfectly with red meat, roasts, and hard cheeses.
