Tasting profile (AI-generated)
Structure: full-bodied, high tannin, high acidity, dry
A Riserva-level Barolo from the small, traditionally-minded Josetta Saffirio estate in Serralunga d'Alba, built around Nebbiolo's hallmark structure: firm, drying tannins and vivid acidity framing aromas of dried rose, tar, and red cherry. The '1948' label references the family's roots rather than a harvest year, and the wine is vinified with a respectful nod to traditional Barolo style — expect a lean, austere frame that rewards patience and opens with food. Pair with rich, slow-cooked meats to soften those tannins and let the wine's earthy, floral complexity shine.
Serving: Serve at 16–18 °C.
