"Barolo Riserva 7 anni" FRANCO CONTERNO, Barolo DOCG 2012 DOCG in Masserano Altitude: 350 mTraditional BAROLO RISERVA at its best! When I first tried this wine, it brought back memories of the first time I tried the King of Wines and Wine of Kings it is aged in large barrels for a long, long seven years, and then in the bottle that's how all Barolo used to be made. And: like in the old times, it is not from a single "cru" vineyard, but the grapes stem from the Bussia in Monforte d'Alba, the Prugnane in Castiglione Falletto and the Panerole
