TASTING NOTES
This Barolo showcases a harmonious blend of ripe fruit characteristics, spice elements, and well-integrated oak influences. The combination of rich red fruits, licorice, and warm spices results in an inviting and intricate flavor profile typical of high-quality Barolo wines. The fruit-forward nature of this vintage suggests a wine that is approachable and enjoyable even in its youth while still maintaining the depth and complexity expected from a Barolo DOCG. -Importer's Notes
92pts - Vinous
"The 2021 Barolo is a bold, punchy wine. Red-toned fruit, chalk, mint and white pepper give the 2021 a distinctive upper register. Sweet red cherry fruit, chalk and white pepper are all nicely delineated. Bright acids and pointed, vibrant tannins are a touch prominent this year. Floral notes lift the finish."
91pts - Wine Enthusiast
"Vanilla-kissed cherries mingle with warm pie spices, like walking into a bakery just as the morning's first creations emerge from the oven. The wine sweeps across the palate with generous fruit, though oak flexes its muscles a bit too eagerly, leaving a trail of sweet spices in its wake."
