The Aericola Gianpiero Marrone Barolo Pichemej DOCG 2008 displays a garnet red color tinged with orange, flaunting an intense aroma with complex notes of dried flowers, raspberries, wild strawberries, jam and nutmeg, which later evolve into dried mushrooms, liquorices, tobacco and leather. The taste is typically dry, full-bodied, robust, somewhat austere but quite smooth. This Italian red wine matches grilled rib-eye steak perfectly.
