Marziano Abbona
Barolo ‘Cerviano Merli’
Italy, Piedmont
Nebbiolo
A Barolo with a notable structure that is slower to reveal its ample aromas due to its cultivation in soils with very little sand. For this reason, it is aged in the cellar for four years. Develops notes of dark tobacco, blueberry, licorice, and a mineral base. Serve at 18° C (64° F) after bringing it to room temperature in the bottle for at least 24 hours.
