COLOUR:
It has a full and deep garnet colour.
TASTE:
Ellena Barolo del Comune di La Morra shows an exotic, almost spicy personality with a good level of heft and density at the back. Bodied palate and is complemented by firm tannins, balanced acidity and a lingering finish. This is a serious value for Barolo.

FOOD COMBINATION:
