The Schiavenza 2016 Barolo Broglio is a generous and open-knit expression that unfolds to dark fruit, ripe cherry, spice, cola and aniseed. This expression makes room for warmer notes of smoked bacon or tilled earth. Those aromas seem to reflect a savory quality inherent to the fruit or winemaking rather than any ripeness from the vintage. In fact, those savory tones quickly cede to bright and tonic fruit flavors and a good dose of tingly acidity. This is a 4,800-bottle release that hit the market in June 2020.

Aromas of tar and leather lead off in this rich, vivid red, with a core of ripe cherry. Evolves across the palate, building to a tightly wound tapestry of fruit, mineral and balsamic elements on the finish. Best from 2023 through 2045. 400 cases made, 200 cases imported.??–BS??Region: Italy / Piedmont / Barolo Select to Add
