The 2010 Barolo sees fruit sourced from La Morra, Castiglione Falletto and Serralunga d’Alba and shows great fruit intensity with ripe tones of dark fruit (it is aged in neutral oak). Even the wine’s appearance is slightly darker and more concentrated that neighboring wines. The Serralunga d’Alba quality of ripe fruit and power really comes through, especially in the more nuanced and elegant 2010 vintage. The bouquet opens to reveal more spice and tobacco with time. The wine’s fullness and generosity work very nicely in this expression. Drink: 2017-2028. Various American importers, including: Michael Skurnik Wines, Syosset, NY; tel.

Rich and round in profile, boasting black cherry, spice, licorice and subtle leather flavors. Aromatic and supple, yet with ample tannins for support, this should gain in complexity over the next three to five years. Best from 2017 through 2030. 1,000 cases made.??–BS??Region: Italy / Piedmont / Barolo Select to Add
