The medium-textured calcareous soil tending towards clay contributes to defining a deep, tense, and well-recognizable profile. The manual harvest, carried out in the second decade of October, confirms the attention to grape selection, while the overall style reflects the tradition of Barolo combined with greater expressive richness and a full, enveloping profile.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eTasting notes\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eIn the glass, the \u003cstrong\u003eBarolo Rüncot 1997 Magnum\u003c\/strong\u003e presents the typical personality of a great evolving red, capable of offering complexity and depth.
