Ripe berry and cherry with leather and asphalt aromas follow through to a full body with soft, melted tannins that spread out across the palate, delivering aniseed, black-licorice and berry flavors. Ready now. And delicious. Drink now.

The 2012 Barolo Riserva 10 Anni Case Nere is one of the more aromatically beguiling wines in this range. Smoke, game, sage, rosemary, licorice and crushed rose petals all lift from the glass. A weightless, totally gracious wine, the 2012 Case Nere is wonderfully complete, nuanced and very pretty. Next to the other wines in the range, the Case Nere is a bit fragile and ethereal in feel, but it is the wine's aromatic presence that truly stands out.
