title: Umberto Fracassi 2011 Mantoetto  (Barolo)
description: Fragrant and firmly structured, this offers enticing scents of ripe berry, baking spice, tobacco, leather and a balsamic note. The solid palate doles out sour cherry, crushed raspberry, strawberry, cinnamon, clove and anise. A tannic backbone and bright acidity lend structure and balance. It boasts a surprisingly age-worthy structure given the heat of the vintage. Drink 2019–2031.
