AROMA:
The Oberto Egidio Barolo Fossati 2015 is taut and elegant nose has aromas of dark fruit, aromatic herbs, withered flowers, and licorice.
COLOUR:
Brilliant ruby red with a light orange fingernail.
TASTE:
The mouth is pleasantly fresh and spicy and aromatic and has a superb tannic vigor that suggests extreme longevity.
FOOD COMBINATION:
Alongside its traditional pairings, Fossati is exalted by the company of ripe cheeses – whether of sheep’s milk or of mixed sheep and goat’s milk. The aging of 18 months in tonneau, 40% new, 40% second pass, 20% third pass, 6 months in bottles gives a Barolo which can be stored for another 15-20 years.
