“It’s pretty exceptional for a Barolo Classico” - JancisRobinson.com

A Barolo with joy in its heart. Pour it into a wide-bowled glass to help release its beautiful high-toned aromas of sweet cherry, loose tea, crushed rose petals and hedgerow syrup, deepened by hints of spice, cedar and that subtle Barolo smokiness. The 2020 vintage brings an extra glide of fruit and approachability, but make no mistake—this is still a wine with classic Barolo architecture, built on taut Nebbiolo tannins that fan out like origami. Sweet, fragrant woody notes from the tight-grained French oak weave seamlessly with the concentrated Nebbiolo fruit, which is lithe and lissom. A wine that grows in every sip. Organic. 14% alc. Drink now – 2032.

Press Reviews:

JancisRobinson.com: “Barolo. Palish ruby. A little dusty and closed at first, with notes of sweet raspberry. Sappy, minerally raspberry fruit with a layer of fine, long-lasting tannins complementing the fruit. Long and focused. As soon as it is released grab a couple of bottles because it’s pretty exceptional for a Barolo Classico (calling it ‘entry level’ wouldn’t do it justice). (WS)” 17.5 points
