Notes | |||
"A ruby red of medium intensity and garnet red hues. On the nose, intense, harmonic, with ethereal and captivating nuances and a final note of red fruit. On the palate, warm, balanced, with good persistence; already drinking well. Finishes with polished tannins and a delicate vanilla aftertaste." —winemaker |
Critical Acclaim | |||
"The 2018 Barolo is a blend of fruit from Arborina and Gattera in La Morra and Castelletto in Monforte d'Alba, which are three of the estate's coolest growing sites. You get the smooth or silky disposition of fruit from La Morra blended with the power and precision of Monforte d'Alba. This wine shows nicely in this vintage thanks to dark fruit, tar, smoke and crushed rock. There is a fragrant hint of violets too." —Wine Advocate "Aromas of red berry, underbrush and oak-driven spice waft out of the glass. Elegant and already accessible, the savory palate features sour cherry, orange zest, star anise and mocha alongside chalky, drying tannins." —Wine Enthusiast "Rather easygoing Barolo with some nice red-fruit character that gets a little washed away on the palate. Some firm tannin, but a little short for now." —James Suckling |
