AZELIA - Barolo Voghera Brea - 2001

AZELIA

Barolo Voghera Brea 2001

From 70 year-old vines. Second vintage. Under the previous owners this wine was not bottled as a separate cru by the old owners of the plot. Low-key nose. Rich and broad on the palate. Very dry and savoury. Correct but not winning. A bit too dry and austere for me.
