Cascina Adelaide Barolo 4 Vigne 2017

“This is a very focused Barolo with vertical tannins and black-cherry and ripe-strawberry character. Some smoke and asphalt to the light dried fruit. Tight at the end. Give it three or four years to open. Try after 2024.”

“With fruit from four sites spread across La Morra and Serralunga d'Alba, the Cascina Adelaide 2017 Barolo 4 Vigne opens to a bright garnet appearance and lifted perfumes of tart cherry, wild blueberry and crushed rose. This is a versatile expression of Barolo that shows the austerity and sophistication of the denomination, along with the accessible tannins and acidity that mean you don't need to wait forever before enjoying this bottle. Some 15,000 of them were made.”

“Aromas of violet, baking spice and camphor emerge from the glass. The full-bodied palate features Marasca cherry, white pepper and star anise alongside polished tannins. Drink 2023–2029.”
