I tasted this Le Cecche Barolo 2010 at the organic neighbourhood wine shop the other day. I am not sure if this wine is organic or not (probably not) but the deceptive bit is nothing to do with this, it is to do with the light colour of this traditional style Barolo. If no one had told me that this is a Barolo, I would have said from the colour that it is a Pinot Noir. It was difficult to catch the colour on camera, so I had to tinker with exposure to get it to match what I saw in the glass.With a sweet berry nose, for which the WSET terminology use the term strawberry, I can see many being surprised when the encounter the heavy presence of tannins in the mouth.
