This special wine is rich, full and dark in colour. Expect intense notes of balsamic, leather and molasses. Whilst lighter in alcohol than the 14.5% Nerello Masacalese, this 13.5% P16 feels bigger – it’s very expressive in its character and would be one for those who enjoy big Barolo style wines, made naturally.
