An excellent example of this most iconic of Italian wines. La Pieve is a Barolo that can be enjoyed today. In the glass it has a nose of ripe fruit and delicate spice and liquorice that give a remarkable expressiveness, unique of this wine. On the palate the texture is soft and creamy. It invites you to enjoy it immediately, but there's also a lot of structure and richness that provide the potential for considerable aging. Give this a couple of hours in a decanter to allow it to open up and really express itself.
