The wine obtained is rich in polyphenols, which, inaddition to giving it an intense, deep garnet red color, gives it a powerful structure, austerity and at the same time is extremely pleasant on the nose and palate. It is the patience and maturing in the bottle that enables this wine to express the charm of its complexity. With notes of spices, liquorice, tobacco, and white truffle.

The captions on the label have been designed to reproduce the way in which the vine rows grow at the foot of Castiglione Falletto castle and with a stylized image of an almond in the center of the label.

Here's a wine that demonstrates how far Nebbiolo can age with just a few extra years in the cellar. The younger vintages from Giacosa Fratelli reveal tight and astringent tannins. But the 2012 Barolo Riserva Scarrone Vigna Mandorlo Canavere shows drying sensations and some dustiness instead. The wine's fruity tones of wild cherry and cassis are intact at the core, and the aging process has introduced extra levels of spice, tar and smoke. Anticipated Maturity: 2022-2040
