“This Cru Barolo from an extraordinary vintage is so approachable yet also ageworthy. Accents of ripe black cherry, savory walnut husk, and black truffle. Sumptuous red-toned fruit, tobacco, cedar, and expressive acidity plus building tannins.”

A cooler year with a slow start and adequate rainfall resulted in a long growing season and ideal harvest conditions. Balanced, vibrant and tense Barolos; refined, elegant Barbarescos
