The 2007 Barolo Pi Vigne is an attractive entry-level bottling with excellent suppleness in its dark fruit and an easygoing personality well suited to near-term enjoyment. Flowers, chocolate and sweet French oak linger on the finish. Anticipated maturity: 2012-2017.
This set of reviews includes several 2007 Baroli that Grasso tends to bottle later than his two flagships Bricco Manzoni and Bricco Luciani.
