BAROLO D.O.C.G. - Double Bass
COLLEZIONE QUINTETTO BAVA
VINTAGE 1989

In the strings the Double Bass is the gravest voice. Balanced and clear, its ponderous tones are used with delicacy in the greatest Symphonies, or with light-hearted humour in Jazz.

Refined and harmonious, sure of a long life, Barolo Bava is capable of solos of great feeling, and provides the solid foundation for a fine gastronomic recital.
