Tasting notes
The most well-known Nebbiolo region, and for good reason. Released 4 full years after harvest, 3 of those spent in oak, Barolo is a powerhouse of rich rose and anise aromas and mouth-drying tannins. The paradox is that all of this is contained within a seemingly light wine; coffee, vanilla, red cherry, potpourri, allspice, truffles, tar, liquorice and primordial Earth are all here. Oh, and tons and tons of enjoyable fruit on top of those gripping, addictive tannins. The King Of Italy!
Interesting fact
Barolo must be aged at least 4 years, of which 18 months must be in oak, before being released. This 2017 vintage is the newest release!
