Marziano Abbona Pressenda Barolo 2016 is a classic Barolo from the Pressenda vineyard, delivering Nebbiolo’s perfumed elegance with a backbone of power. Aromas of rose, red cherry, tar, and spice unfold into a structured palate with bright acidity and refined tannins, finishing long and mineral-driven. Best opened with decanting now, or cellared for 10–20 years.
