The Character
Overall Generous & warm
Aromas Earthy, truffles, licorice, juniper, tar, balsamic notes, spices, undergrowth
Mouthfeel Full & a bit rustic

The Story
This is the principal Barolo of the estate, at least in terms of quantity produced. The vineyard is the Gabutti cru and the exposure is south to southwest. The Barolos of Serralunga are known for their generosity and warmth and the “Rupestris” is as fine an example as one can find.
