🍇 Majestic, Profound, and a Benchmark Barolo

🍷 In the Glass
Deep garnet with ruby highlights and a faint orange rim—classic and dignified.
👃 On the Nose
Complex and hauntingly beautiful, with aromas of dried rose petals, cherry, wild strawberry, tar, truffle, and a subtle spice and earthy undertone.
🥂 On the Palate
Full-bodied and structured, with layers of red fruits, licorice, leather, and mineral notes. Fine-grained tannins and vibrant acidity frame the flavours, leading to a long, elegant, and persistent finish.
🍽️ Food Pairing
Perfect with braised beef, game, truffle risotto, or aged cheeses like Castelmagno.
⏳ Ageing Potential
Magnificent now with proper decanting, but will continue to evolve gracefully over 15–20+ years.
💫 Why You’ll Love It
Vigna Elena is a jewel of Barolo—intensely expressive, impeccably balanced, and deeply rooted in Piedmontese tradition. A truly remarkable wine for collectors and enthusiasts alike.
