The 2006 Alessandro e Gian Natale Fantino Barolo Riserva (Cascina Dardi) is a red wine produced in the Barolo region of Italy. Barolo is known for producing powerful and elegant wines made from the Nebbiolo grape.
This particular wine is a Riserva, which means it has been aged for a longer period of time than a regular Barolo.
Riserva wines require a minimum of 5 years of aging, with at least 3 years in oak barrels. The 2006 vintage was characterized by warm weather throughout the growing season, resulting in ripe and concentrated grapes.
This wine is likely to have intense flavors of dark fruits, such as blackberries and plums, along with secondary notes of licorice, tobacco, and leather.
With its extended aging, the 2006 Alessandro e Gian Natale Fantino Barolo Riserva (Cascina Dardi) is likely to be well-structured with velvety tannins and a long, lingering finish.
It can be enjoyed now or cellared for further aging.
