ITALY / PIEDMONT /
Wine Spectator | Rating: 92
Cherry, licorice and spice flavors highlight this harmonious Barolo. The tannins are firm and the finish evokes underbrush and tobacco notes. Best from 2020 through 2033. 650 cases made.Author: Bruce Sanderson
Piedmont, which literally means “foot of the mountain,” produces some of Italy's finest red wines. Its clay, limestone, and sand soils are home to the legendary Barolo and Barbaresco wines, made from the extremely age-worthy Nebbiolo variety. Dolcetto and Barbera are considered to be more “workhorse” varieties, and produce the largest quantity of wine. The region is tucked in the cool northwest corner of the country, surrounded on three sides by the Alps. Fog often blankets the region, ensuring long, cool growing seasons.
