Marc de Grazia is working with this estate in an attempt to resurrect the glory it attained in the late sixties and early seventies (the 1971 was legendary). It is a more rustic, coarser style of Barolo than I suspect de Grazia prefers, but there is no doubting that there is room for this robust style as well as the more graceful, barrique-aged Barolos. The big, tarry, rose petal, cedar, and cherry-scented nose jumps from the glass. In the mouth, some coarse tannin hits the palate, but it is overwhelmed by an abundance of sweet, chewy, rich, ripe fruit. This full-bodied, quasi-old style Barolo is rustic, but accessible as well as immensely satisfying. It should drink well for a dozen years.
